Dalbergia vacciniifolia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Dalbergia vacciniifolia faces severe pressure from illegal logging and timber harvesting, as this rosewood species produces highly valued wood for furniture and musical instruments. Habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and urban development has fragmented its remaining forest populations across its limited range. The species' slow growth rate and specific ecological requirements make recovery particularly challenging once populations are depleted.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, typically found in lowland and montane forest ecosystems. It grows in well-drained soils within primary and secondary forest formations, often as part of mixed deciduous forest communities.
