Homalium glandulosum

Unknown

Overview

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

Homalium glandulosum faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion across its limited range in Madagascar. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging targets the mature forest stands where this tree species naturally occurs. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering precipitation patterns essential for the species' reproductive cycles.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Madagascan tree species inhabits humid lowland and montane rainforests, typically occurring in primary forest understory and forest edges at elevations between 200-1,200 meters. It requires well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels characteristic of Madagascar's eastern rainforest belt.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Homalium glandulosum classified as Critically Endangered?
Homalium glandulosum is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Homalium glandulosum faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion across its limited range in Madagascar. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging targets the mature forest stands where this tree species naturally occurs. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering precipitation patterns essential for the species' reproductive cycles.
Where does Homalium glandulosum live?
Homalium glandulosum occurs in Vietnam. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Homalium glandulosum?
The main threats to Homalium glandulosum are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
