Glochidion sisparense
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Glochidion sisparense faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in its limited range within the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. Agricultural expansion and infrastructure development have fragmented the remaining forest patches where this endemic tree species occurs. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with small population sizes unable to withstand continued habitat loss.
Habitat
This endemic tree species inhabits tropical moist deciduous forests and semi-evergreen forests in the Western Ghats of India. It typically occurs in mid-elevation forest areas with well-drained soils and moderate to high rainfall patterns.
