Calophyllum rufinerve
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Calophyllum rufinerve faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. Logging operations target both the species directly for its valuable timber and indirectly through forest clearance for agricultural expansion. The species' restricted distribution in lowland and hill forests makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with remaining populations becoming increasingly fragmented and isolated.
Habitat
This tropical tree species inhabits lowland and hill dipterocarp forests across Southeast Asia, typically occurring at elevations up to 800 meters. It grows in both primary and secondary forest formations, showing preference for well-drained soils in areas with high rainfall and humidity.
