Overview

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

Mangifera austroindica faces severe population decline primarily due to deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in the Philippines. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging targets mature trees that are crucial for reproduction. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect flowering and fruiting cycles essential for population maintenance.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic mango species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forests in the Philippines, typically occurring at elevations below 500 meters. It grows in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall, often found along forest edges and in partially disturbed forest remnants.
