Garcinia cadelliana

Unknown

Overview

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

Garcinia cadelliana faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging targets mature forest trees that provide essential habitat structure. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns and temperature regimes critical for this tropical species' reproductive cycles.

Threat summary

Habitat

Garcinia cadelliana inhabits tropical rainforest environments, typically found in the understory and canopy layers of primary and secondary forests. The species requires well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels characteristic of humid tropical ecosystems.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Garcinia cadelliana classified as Critically Endangered?
Garcinia cadelliana is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Garcinia cadelliana faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging targets mature forest trees that provide essential habitat structure. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns and temperature regimes critical for this tropical species' reproductive cycles.
Where does Garcinia cadelliana live?
Garcinia cadelliana occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Garcinia cadelliana?
The main threats to Garcinia cadelliana are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
