Overview

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

Bertia cambojiensis faces severe threats from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Cambodia's lowland forests. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging activities continue to degrade the remaining forest patches where this critically endangered species persists.
