Dasymaschalon yunnanense

Unknown

Overview

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

Dasymaschalon yunnanense faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Yunnan Province, China. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while collection for traditional medicine and ornamental purposes has further reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat as shifting precipitation patterns and temperature increases affect the specific microhabitat conditions this endemic species requires.
