Dalbergia gloveri
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Dalbergia gloveri faces severe pressure from illegal logging and timber harvesting, as this rosewood species is highly valued for its dense, aromatic wood used in furniture and musical instruments. Habitat fragmentation from agricultural expansion and infrastructure development has reduced its natural range, while the species' slow growth rate makes population recovery extremely difficult once stands are depleted.
Habitat
This rosewood species typically inhabits tropical dry forests and woodland savannas, often growing in well-drained soils at elevations up to 1,000 meters. It occurs in both primary and secondary forest formations, showing some tolerance for disturbed habitats.
