Canarium pseudodecumanum

Unknown

Overview

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

Canarium pseudodecumanum faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. Commercial logging operations and agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations, have fragmented the lowland and hill forests this species depends upon. Over-exploitation for timber and non-timber forest products has further reduced population numbers, while climate change threatens to alter the specific moisture and temperature conditions required for successful reproduction.
