Orophea submaculata
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.
Habitat
This species inhabits primary and secondary lowland tropical rainforests, typically found in the understory of dense forest areas. It occurs at elevations from sea level to approximately 800 meters, preferring areas with high humidity and dense canopy cover.
