Anisophyllea cabole

Unknown

Overview

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

Anisophyllea cabole faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its West African range. Agricultural expansion, particularly for cocoa and oil palm plantations, has fragmented the lowland rainforest ecosystems this species depends upon. Logging activities targeting valuable timber species further degrade remaining forest patches, while urban development continues to encroach on coastal forest areas where the species occurs.

Threat summary

Habitat

Anisophyllea cabole inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forest areas in West Africa, typically occurring in humid coastal and near-coastal regions. The species is found in both primary forest understory and disturbed forest edges, showing some tolerance for degraded habitats.
