Glochidion pauciflorum

Unknown

Overview

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

Glochidion pauciflorum faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Urban development and palm oil plantation establishment have eliminated significant portions of its historical range, while logging operations continue to degrade remaining habitat quality.

Threat summary
