Coelocarpum haggierensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Coelocarpum haggierensis faces severe pressure from habitat degradation on Socotra Island, where its limited montane forest habitat is increasingly fragmented by livestock grazing and human settlement expansion. The species' extremely restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, with invasive plant species competing for resources in its specialized ecological niche. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate moisture balance required for this endemic tree's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic tree species inhabits the montane forests of Socotra Island, typically found at higher elevations where moisture levels support specialized vegetation communities. It grows in rocky, well-drained soils within the island's unique cloud forest ecosystems that depend on seasonal mist and rainfall patterns.
