Calophyllum aureobrunnescens
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Calophyllum aureobrunnescens faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. Commercial logging operations target the species' preferred primary forest habitats, while agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations continue to fragment remaining populations. The species' slow growth rate and specific ecological requirements make recovery particularly challenging once local populations are eliminated.
Habitat
This tropical tree species inhabits lowland primary rainforests and mixed dipterocarp forests at elevations typically below 500 meters. It requires well-drained soils and the humid microclimate conditions found in intact forest canopies.
