Monoon praestigiosum

Unknown

Overview

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

Monoon praestigiosum faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its Southeast Asian range, particularly in lowland areas where commercial logging and palm oil plantations have fragmented its forest habitat. The species' limited distribution and specific habitat requirements make it especially vulnerable to ongoing forest conversion, while collection for traditional medicine and timber use adds additional pressure on remaining populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits primary and secondary lowland tropical rainforests, typically found in areas with rich, well-drained soils at elevations below 800 meters. It occurs in both undisturbed forest interiors and forest edges, showing some tolerance for moderately disturbed habitats.
