Glochidion nadeaudii

Declining

Overview

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

Glochidion nadeaudii faces significant pressure from habitat degradation across its limited range in French Polynesia. The species is particularly vulnerable to invasive plant species that alter native forest composition and compete for resources. Urban development and agricultural expansion continue to fragment remaining suitable habitat, while the small population size makes the species susceptible to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic shrub occurs in native lowland and montane forests of French Polynesia, typically growing in understory environments with well-drained soils. The species shows preference for partially shaded areas within intact forest ecosystems at elevations ranging from sea level to moderate mountain slopes.
