Pyrenaria maculatoclada

Unknown

Overview

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

Pyrenaria maculatoclada faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Southeast Asian montane forests. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have reduced the quality and connectivity of its forest habitat, while climate change poses additional risks to the specific elevational zones this species requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits montane evergreen forests at elevations typically between 800-2000 meters. It grows in humid, well-drained forest soils with dense canopy cover and is particularly associated with primary and mature secondary forest ecosystems.
