Syzygium ebaloi

Unknown

Overview

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

Syzygium ebaloi faces severe threats from ongoing deforestation and habitat conversion in its limited Philippine range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while agricultural expansion and logging activities continue to fragment its remaining forest habitat. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moist forest conditions this endemic species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Syzygium ebaloi is endemic to moist tropical forests in the Philippines, typically found in primary and secondary forest habitats at mid-elevations. The species requires humid forest conditions with consistent moisture levels and appears to be restricted to specific microhabitats within its limited geographic range.
