Glenniea penangensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Glenniea penangensis faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Peninsular Malaysia. The species' restriction to lowland and hill dipterocarp forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and oil palm plantation development. Urban development around Penang and surrounding areas has further fragmented its already limited habitat, while the species' apparent rarity suggests small population sizes that are inherently vulnerable to local extinctions.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland and hill dipterocarp forests in Peninsular Malaysia, typically found in primary and secondary forest environments. It appears to be restricted to specific forest types within a limited elevational range, making it particularly sensitive to habitat modifications.
