Claoxylon collenettei

Declining

Overview

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

Claoxylon collenettei faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with logging operations and agricultural expansion fragmenting remaining populations. Mining activities and infrastructure development further compound habitat loss pressures in key areas where this endemic shrub occurs.
