Pentace eximia

Unknown

Overview

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

Pentace eximia faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. Logging operations and agricultural expansion have fragmented the lowland and hill forests this species depends upon. The conversion of natural forest to oil palm plantations represents a particularly acute threat, as these monocultures cannot support the complex forest ecosystem requirements of this tree species.

Threat summary

Habitat

Pentace eximia inhabits lowland and hill dipterocarp forests across Southeast Asia, typically occurring in primary and secondary forest formations up to 800 meters elevation. The species requires well-drained soils and is associated with mixed tropical rainforest communities.
