Ilex euryaeformis

Declining

Overview

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

Ilex euryaeformis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in its limited montane forest range. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have fragmented the remaining populations, while the species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Climate change poses an additional risk by altering the cool, humid conditions essential for this holly's survival in high-elevation ecosystems.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endangered holly species inhabits montane forests at high elevations, typically growing in cool, humid conditions within cloud forest ecosystems. It requires the specific microclimate conditions found in these elevated forest environments, making it highly dependent on intact montane forest habitat.
