Homalium dalzielii

Unknown

Overview

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

Homalium dalzielii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and logging activities throughout its West African range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Unsustainable harvesting for timber and traditional uses compounds these pressures, while climate change threatens to alter the humid forest conditions this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Homalium dalzielii inhabits humid tropical forests and forest margins across West Africa, typically occurring in secondary growth areas and forest edges. The species shows preference for well-drained soils in areas with consistent moisture and partial canopy cover.
