Eugenia sachetae

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia sachetae faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in French Polynesia. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to invasive plant species that compete for resources and alter native ecosystem dynamics. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting the fragile island ecosystems where this endemic tree survives.

Threat summary
