Ceodes brownii

Declining

Overview

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

Ceodes brownii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to coastal development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Pacific islands. Invasive plant species compete directly with this native tree for resources and space, while rising sea levels and increased storm intensity from climate change threaten its coastal forest habitats. The species' extremely small population size makes it vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.

Threat summary

Habitat

Ceodes brownii inhabits coastal forests and lowland tropical woodlands on Pacific islands, typically growing in well-drained soils near shorelines. The species prefers areas with partial shade and is often found in association with other native coastal vegetation.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Ceodes brownii classified as Critically Endangered?
Ceodes brownii is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Ceodes brownii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to coastal development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Pacific islands. Invasive plant species compete directly with this native tree for resources and space, while rising sea levels and increased storm intensity from climate change threaten its coastal forest habitats. The species' extremely small population size makes it vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.
Where does Ceodes brownii live?
Ceodes brownii 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 Ceodes brownii?
The main threats to Ceodes brownii 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.
