Diospyros reinae

Unknown

Overview

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

Diospyros reinae faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and logging activities that fragment its remaining forest habitat. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while collection for timber and traditional uses further reduces population numbers. Climate change poses an additional long-term threat by altering the specific environmental conditions this endemic species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat
