Diospyros daemona

Unknown

Overview

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

Diospyros daemona faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion in its native range. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while logging activities targeting valuable timber species in its forest habitat create additional disturbance. Climate change poses an emerging threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the species' reproductive cycles and seedling establishment.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits tropical lowland and montane forests, typically occurring in primary forest ecosystems with well-drained soils. It is found in both undisturbed forest interiors and forest edges, showing some tolerance for secondary growth habitats.
