Manilkara hoshinoi

Declining

Overview

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

Manilkara hoshinoi faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging targets mature trees of this valuable timber species. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting forest composition in its specialized habitat.
