Endiandra scrobiculata

Unknown

Overview

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

Endiandra scrobiculata faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited Queensland range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across small forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered rainfall patterns and increased fire frequency in its subtropical rainforest habitat.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits subtropical rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest in southeastern Queensland, typically occurring in areas with rich, well-drained soils. It is found in both primary forest and forest margins, often in association with other endemic rainforest species.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Endiandra scrobiculata classified as Critically Endangered?
Endiandra scrobiculata is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Endiandra scrobiculata faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited Queensland range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across small forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered rainfall patterns and increased fire frequency in its subtropical rainforest habitat.
Where does Endiandra scrobiculata live?
Endiandra scrobiculata occurs in Malaysia. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Endiandra scrobiculata?
The main threats to Endiandra scrobiculata are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
