Ficus bonijesulapensis

Declining

Overview

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

Ficus bonijesulapensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in its limited range within the Philippines. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with ongoing agricultural expansion and urban development fragmenting remaining forest patches. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional risks to the specialized limestone karst habitats where this endemic fig species occurs.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Philippine fig species inhabits limestone karst formations and associated forest ecosystems, typically growing in rocky crevices and cliff faces.
