Ibanum pilimanus

Unknown

Overview

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

Ibanum pilimanus faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Mining activities and infrastructure development have fragmented remaining habitat patches, while climate change threatens the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires. The combination of small population size and restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from habitat disturbance.

Threat summary

Habitat

Ibanum pilimanus faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Mining activities and infrastructure development have fragmented remaining habitat patches, while climate change threatens the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires. The combination of small population size and restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from habitat disturbance.
Where does Ibanum pilimanus live?
Ibanum pilimanus occurs in Malaysia. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
