Heliciopsis cockburnii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Heliciopsis cockburnii faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and dependence on intact forest ecosystems. Logging activities and agricultural expansion have fragmented remaining populations, while the slow growth rate typical of Proteaceae family members limits natural recovery potential.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland and hill tropical rainforests, typically occurring in primary forest environments with well-developed canopy structure. It is found at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 800 meters in areas with high rainfall and humid conditions.
