Ehretia scrobiculata

Unknown

Overview

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

Ehretia scrobiculata faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its native range in Southeast Asia. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its preference for primary and secondary forests, which are being cleared at accelerating rates for palm oil plantations and urban development. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration potential.

Threat summary

Habitat

Ehretia scrobiculata inhabits tropical lowland and montane forests, typically found in primary and mature secondary forest environments. The species occurs in both evergreen and semi-deciduous forest types, often growing in forest edges and clearings at elevations up to 1,200 meters.
