Campylospermum scheffleri
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Campylospermum scheffleri faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and logging activities throughout its limited range in tropical Africa. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining operations and infrastructure development pose additional threats to the specialized forest ecosystems this species requires for survival.
Habitat
Campylospermum scheffleri inhabits tropical moist forests and forest margins in equatorial Africa, typically occurring in primary and secondary forest ecosystems. The species shows preference for well-drained soils in lowland and submontane forest zones with consistent moisture levels.
