Diospyros bullata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Diospyros bullata faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while selective logging for valuable timber compounds population decline. Climate change poses an emerging threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moist forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This species inhabits moist tropical forests and forest margins, typically occurring in lowland to mid-elevation areas with consistent moisture levels. It grows in both primary and secondary forest habitats, often along forest edges and in partially disturbed areas.
