Fordia lanceolata

Unknown

Overview

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

Fordia lanceolata faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and logging operations, has fragmented the lowland and hill forests this species depends upon. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce available habitat, while the species' limited dispersal ability makes population recovery difficult once local extinctions occur.

Threat summary

Habitat

Fordia lanceolata inhabits tropical lowland and hill forests across Southeast Asia, typically found in primary and secondary forest environments up to moderate elevations. The species shows preference for areas with dense canopy cover and established forest structure.
