Eugenia johorensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia johorensis faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and land conversion throughout its native range in Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand. Urban expansion, agricultural development, and logging operations have fragmented the lowland forest habitats essential for this endemic tree species. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with remaining populations increasingly isolated in forest fragments.
