Eugenia tiumanensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia tiumanensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging operations continue to reduce the quality of remaining forest patches. Urban development and palm oil plantations have eliminated significant portions of its historical range, leaving isolated populations with reduced genetic diversity.

Threat summary
