Overview

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

Cordia cabanayensis faces severe threats from ongoing deforestation and habitat conversion in its extremely limited range in the Philippines. The species' restriction to lowland and montane forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging activities and agricultural expansion. Its small population size and fragmented distribution further amplify extinction risk from any additional disturbances.
