Glycosmis tomentella

Unknown

Overview

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

Glycosmis tomentella faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its native range in Southeast Asia. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further fragmented remaining forest patches, isolating small populations and reducing genetic diversity.

Threat summary

Habitat

Glycosmis tomentella inhabits tropical lowland and montane forests, typically found in primary and secondary forest understory environments. The species occurs in both evergreen and semi-evergreen forest types at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 1,200 meters.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Glycosmis tomentella classified as Endangered?
Glycosmis tomentella is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Glycosmis tomentella faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its native range in Southeast Asia. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further fragmented remaining forest patches, isolating small populations and reducing genetic diversity.
Where does Glycosmis tomentella live?
Glycosmis tomentella occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
