Bennettiodendron cordatum

Unknown

Overview

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

Bennettiodendron cordatum faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and slow growth rate, making population recovery difficult once local populations are eliminated. Logging activities and agricultural expansion continue to fragment the remaining forest patches where this tree species occurs.
