Santiria impressinervis

Unknown

Overview

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

Santiria impressinervis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion, as it depends on mature forest canopy structures that are slow to regenerate. Palm oil plantations and urban development have fragmented remaining populations, while the tree's valuable timber makes it a target for selective harvesting.
