Bennettiodendron cordatum
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.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical lowland and hill forests in Southeast Asia, typically occurring in primary and secondary forest environments. It grows in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall, often found in mixed dipterocarp forests at elevations up to 800 meters.
