Glycosmis perakensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Glycosmis perakensis faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Peninsular Malaysia. The species' restriction to lowland and hill forests makes it particularly vulnerable to palm oil plantation development and urban encroachment. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns essential for this tropical forest species.
Habitat
Glycosmis perakensis inhabits tropical lowland and hill forests of Peninsular Malaysia, typically found in primary and secondary forest understory. The species occurs at elevations from sea level to approximately 800 meters, preferring areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall patterns.
