Manilkara fasciculata

Declining

Overview

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

Manilkara fasciculata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its Brazilian Atlantic Forest range. Logging operations target this species specifically for its valuable timber, while cattle ranching and sugarcane cultivation continue to fragment remaining forest patches. Urban development along Brazil's coastal regions has eliminated many historical populations, with habitat conversion rates exceeding natural regeneration capacity.

Threat summary

Habitat

This tree species inhabits lowland Atlantic Forest remnants in southeastern Brazil, typically growing in humid coastal forests and gallery forests along river systems. It prefers well-drained soils in primary and secondary forest formations at elevations below 800 meters.
