Overview

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

Santiria dacryodifolia faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations targeting its primary forest habitats, while agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations continue to fragment remaining populations. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering rainfall patterns essential for this moisture-dependent tree species.
