Neonauclea gageana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Neonauclea gageana faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging targets mature trees of this commercially valuable timber species. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns essential for the species' reproductive cycles.
Habitat
Neonauclea gageana inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forests at elevations typically below 800 meters. The species requires well-drained soils and occurs in both primary forest understory and forest edges, showing some tolerance for disturbed habitats.
