Ceodes amplifolia

Declining

Overview

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

Ceodes amplifolia faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as coastal and lowland forests across its Pacific island range are cleared for agriculture and development. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to invasive plant species that outcompete native vegetation and alter forest composition. Climate change poses an additional threat through rising sea levels and increased storm intensity affecting coastal habitats where this endemic tree occurs.

Threat summary

Habitat

Ceodes amplifolia inhabits coastal and lowland forests on Pacific islands, typically growing in well-drained soils near shorelines and in valley bottoms. The species occurs in both primary and secondary forest habitats, often associated with other native trees in mixed tropical forest communities.
