Mangifera orophila

Unknown

Overview

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

Mangifera orophila faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in its montane forest range. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have reduced the quality and extent of its specialized high-altitude habitat. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change poses additional risks to its mountain ecosystem requirements.

Threat summary

Habitat

Mangifera orophila inhabits montane tropical forests at elevations typically between 800-1,500 meters. The species requires the specific climatic conditions and soil types found in these high-altitude forest ecosystems.
