Glenniea unijuga

Unknown

Overview

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

Glenniea unijuga faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion, which fragment its forest habitat and reduce population connectivity. Palm oil plantations and urban development have accelerated habitat loss in recent decades, while the species' limited dispersal ability makes recolonization of cleared areas difficult.

Threat summary

Habitat
