Knema mogeana

Unknown

Overview

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

Knema mogeana faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. Palm oil plantations and agricultural expansion have fragmented remaining forest patches, while selective logging targets the mature trees this species depends on for reproduction. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.

Threat summary
