Haplolobus bintuluensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Haplolobus bintuluensis faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Borneo's lowland forests. Commercial logging operations and palm oil plantation expansion have fragmented the species' primary habitat, while its apparent dependence on specific forest conditions makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes. The species' restricted distribution amplifies these threats, as local habitat destruction can eliminate entire populations.

Threat summary
