Pseuduvaria taipingensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pseuduvaria taipingensis faces severe threats from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion in its extremely limited range around Taiping, Perak, Malaysia. The species' restriction to lowland primary forest makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and palm oil plantation development. Its small population size and narrow habitat requirements leave little room for recovery from ongoing forest fragmentation.
Habitat
This species is endemic to lowland primary rainforest in the Taiping area of Perak, Malaysia, typically found in the understory of undisturbed tropical forest. It requires intact forest canopy and specific soil conditions characteristic of Malaysian lowland dipterocarp forests.
