Auerodendron martii

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Auerodendron martii faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in the Caribbean. Urban development and agricultural expansion have fragmented the remaining forest patches where this endemic tree species occurs. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with small population sizes unable to withstand continued forest loss.
