Garcinia clusiifolia

Unknown

Overview

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

Garcinia clusiifolia faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its native range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and logging operations, continues to fragment and reduce the lowland forest ecosystems this species depends upon. Urban development and infrastructure projects further compound habitat loss, while the species' limited dispersal ability makes population recovery difficult once local extinctions occur.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forests in Southeast Asia, typically occurring in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall. It grows in both primary forest understory and forest edges, showing some tolerance for disturbed habitats but requiring forest canopy cover for optimal growth.
