Engelhardia danumensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Engelhardia danumensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Borneo's lowland forests. Commercial logging operations and agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations, have fragmented the species' remaining habitat into isolated patches. The species' restriction to specific soil types and elevation ranges makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.
Habitat
This endemic tree species inhabits lowland mixed dipterocarp forests of Borneo, typically occurring on well-drained soils at elevations below 500 meters. It grows in primary and mature secondary forests, often associated with other endemic Bornean tree species in areas of high botanical diversity.
