Canarium paniculatum

Unknown

Overview

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

Canarium paniculatum faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range, particularly for palm oil plantations and agricultural expansion. Selective logging targets this valuable timber species for its high-quality wood used in construction and furniture making. The species' slow growth rate and specific pollination requirements make population recovery extremely difficult once local populations are depleted.
