Garcinia paucinervis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Garcinia paucinervis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets the mature forest canopy where this tree species thrives. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate forest ecosystem balance this endemic Garcinia depends upon.
Habitat
Garcinia paucinervis inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests, typically found in the forest canopy and understory of lowland and hill forests. The species requires well-drained soils and thrives in the humid, stable microclimate conditions characteristic of intact Southeast Asian forest ecosystems.
