Orophea submaculata

Unknown

Overview

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

Orophea submaculata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging activities and palm oil plantation development have eliminated much of its preferred primary forest habitat, forcing populations into smaller, degraded forest remnants.

Threat summary

Habitat
