Cynometra fortuna-tironis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cynometra fortuna-tironis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in West African coastal forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging operations target the mature forest canopy where this tree species thrives. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered rainfall patterns that could disrupt the specific moisture conditions required for successful reproduction.
Habitat
This species occurs in lowland tropical rainforests of West Africa, typically in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall. It favors mature forest environments with well-developed canopy structure and rich, organic soils.
