Goniothalamus bracteosus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Goniothalamus bracteosus faces severe pressure from 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. Logging activities and palm oil plantation development continue to reduce the quality and extent of suitable habitat, while the species' slow growth rate limits its ability to recover from population declines.
Habitat
This species inhabits primary and secondary lowland tropical rainforests, typically found in the understory of humid forest environments. It occurs at elevations from sea level to approximately 800 meters, preferring areas with rich, well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels.
