Elaeocarpus bilongvinas
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Elaeocarpus bilongvinas faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Vietnam's montane forests. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have fragmented the remaining forest patches where this endemic tree species occurs. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with small population sizes unable to withstand continued forest loss.
Habitat
This endemic Vietnamese tree species inhabits montane evergreen forests at elevations between 800-1,500 meters. It occurs in primary and secondary forest formations within the northern mountainous regions of Vietnam.
