Hydnocarpus filipes

Unknown

Overview

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

Hydnocarpus filipes faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion, as it requires intact forest canopy conditions to thrive. Additionally, selective harvesting for traditional medicinal uses has reduced population densities in accessible areas, while climate change threatens to alter the humid forest conditions essential for its survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

Hydnocarpus filipes inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests, typically found in the understory and middle canopy layers of humid lowland and hill forests. The species prefers well-drained soils in areas with consistent moisture and requires the shelter of intact forest canopy for optimal growth conditions.
