Canarium pseudopimela

Unknown

Overview

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

Canarium pseudopimela faces significant 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-harvesting of nuts and resin for local and commercial use has further reduced population viability in accessible areas.
