Diospyros halesioides

Unknown

Overview

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

Diospyros halesioides faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' slow growth rate and specific habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation, while selective logging targets mature specimens for their valuable timber. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns essential for successful reproduction.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests, typically found in lowland and hill forests up to 800 meters elevation. It requires well-drained soils and occurs in areas with consistent moisture and partial canopy cover.
