Haplolobus sarawakanus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Haplolobus sarawakanus faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and logging activities across Borneo's lowland forests, which have eliminated vast areas of its preferred habitat. Palm oil plantation expansion has fragmented remaining forest patches, isolating populations and reducing genetic diversity. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction and climate-induced changes in forest composition.
Habitat
This species inhabits primary and secondary lowland dipterocarp forests of Borneo, typically found in areas with dense canopy cover and rich leaf litter. It occurs at elevations from sea level to approximately 800 meters, preferring undisturbed forest environments with high humidity and stable microclimates.
