Overview

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

Mangifera pedicellata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its native range in Southeast Asia. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its limited distribution and slow growth rate, making population recovery difficult once local populations are eliminated. Logging for timber and conversion of forest land to palm oil plantations represent the most immediate threats to remaining populations.
