Calophyllum streimannii

Unknown

Overview

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

Calophyllum streimannii faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. Commercial logging operations and agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations, have fragmented its remaining populations. The species' slow growth rate and specific soil requirements make natural regeneration difficult in disturbed areas, while its valuable timber makes it a target for selective harvesting.

Threat summary

Habitat
