Calophyllum carrii

Unknown

Overview

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

Calophyllum carrii faces significant pressure from logging activities targeting its valuable timber, particularly in accessible lowland areas. Habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations has fragmented its remaining forest habitat. The species' limited distribution and slow growth rate make populations particularly vulnerable to these ongoing pressures.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species occurs in lowland tropical rainforests and mixed dipterocarp forests, typically at elevations below 500 meters. It prefers well-drained soils in primary and mature secondary forest environments across its limited range in Southeast Asia.
