Horsfieldia tenuifolia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Horsfieldia tenuifolia faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion, as it requires intact forest canopy conditions to survive. Palm oil plantations and urban development have fragmented remaining populations, while selective logging targets the mature trees this species depends upon for seed dispersal.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland and hill dipterocarp forests, typically found in primary and mature secondary forests up to 800 meters elevation. It requires well-drained soils and intact canopy cover, often growing as an understory tree in mixed tropical rainforest communities.
