Claoxylon linostachys

Declining

Overview

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

Claoxylon linostachys faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented by human encroachment. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further reduced available habitat, while the species' specialized ecological requirements limit its ability to adapt to degraded environments.

Threat summary

Habitat

Claoxylon linostachys inhabits tropical lowland and montane forests, typically occurring in primary forest understory and forest edges. The species requires well-drained soils and specific microclimate conditions found in intact forest ecosystems.
