Premna grandifolia

Unknown

Overview

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

Premna grandifolia faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets the mature forest canopy where this tree species thrives. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the specific moisture conditions this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat
