Kayea manii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Kayea manii faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and logging activities across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with remaining populations increasingly fragmented and isolated. Mining operations and infrastructure development have further reduced available habitat, while the species' specific ecological requirements limit its ability to adapt to degraded environments.
Habitat
Kayea manii inhabits tropical lowland and hill forests, typically found in primary and mature secondary forest ecosystems with dense canopy cover. The species occurs in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall patterns, often associated with specific soil types and elevation ranges that support its growth requirements.
