Overview

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

Eugenia toaensis faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion in its extremely limited range in Madagascar. The species is restricted to a tiny area of remaining forest that continues to experience pressure from agricultural expansion and logging activities. Its small population size makes it particularly vulnerable to stochastic events and further habitat degradation.
