Schoutenia corneri

Unknown

Overview

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

Schoutenia corneri faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restriction to primary and mature secondary forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and palm oil plantation development. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration potential.

Threat summary

Habitat

Schoutenia corneri is endemic to lowland tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, typically occurring in primary forest and well-developed secondary forest at elevations below 500 meters. The species requires the humid, stable microclimate conditions found in intact forest canopy environments.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Schoutenia corneri classified as Endangered?
Schoutenia corneri is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Schoutenia corneri faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restriction to primary and mature secondary forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and palm oil plantation development. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration potential.
Where does Schoutenia corneri live?
Schoutenia corneri occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Schoutenia corneri?
The main threats to Schoutenia corneri are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
