Pandanus reticulosus

Unknown

Overview

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

Pandanus reticulosus faces significant pressure from coastal development and tourism infrastructure expansion across its limited range in the Seychelles. The species is particularly vulnerable to habitat degradation from construction activities and increased human foot traffic in coastal areas. Climate change poses an additional threat through sea-level rise and increased storm intensity, which can damage the fragile coastal ecosystems where this pandanus species grows.

Threat summary

Habitat

Pandanus reticulosus inhabits coastal areas and rocky shores in the Seychelles, typically growing on granite outcrops and coastal plateaus. The species is adapted to salt-tolerant conditions and thrives in the transition zones between terrestrial and marine environments.
