Casearia mannii

Unknown

Overview

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

Casearia mannii faces significant pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its West African range. The species' dependence on intact forest ecosystems makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and conversion of forest land for cocoa plantations and subsistence farming. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration potential.

Threat summary

Habitat

Casearia mannii occurs in lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forest formations across West Africa. The species typically grows in the understory and forest edges of humid evergreen forests, preferring well-drained soils in areas with consistent rainfall patterns.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Casearia mannii classified as Vulnerable?
Casearia mannii is classified as Vulnerable because the population is declining and the species faces a high risk of extinction in the medium-term future if current pressures continue. Casearia mannii faces significant pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its West African range. The species' dependence on intact forest ecosystems makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and conversion of forest land for cocoa plantations and subsistence farming. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration potential.
Where does Casearia mannii live?
Casearia mannii occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Casearia mannii?
The main threats to Casearia mannii are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
