Ceodes coronata

Declining

Overview

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

Ceodes coronata 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 introduced herbivores damage seedlings and prevent natural regeneration. Climate change poses additional risks through sea-level rise and increased storm intensity affecting coastal populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

Ceodes coronata inhabits coastal forests and lowland areas on Pacific islands, typically growing in sandy soils near shorelines and in mixed native forest communities. The species prefers well-drained sites with partial shade to full sun exposure.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Ceodes coronata classified as Critically Endangered?
Ceodes coronata 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 coronata 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 introduced herbivores damage seedlings and prevent natural regeneration. Climate change poses additional risks through sea-level rise and increased storm intensity affecting coastal populations.
Where does Ceodes coronata live?
Ceodes coronata occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
