Coccusa cristicervix

Unknown

Overview

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

Coccusa cristicervix faces severe population decline primarily due to deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and rice cultivation, has eliminated significant portions of its lowland forest habitat. The species' specialized feeding requirements and limited dispersal ability make it particularly vulnerable to habitat connectivity loss.
