Overview

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

Tangalin faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its native range in Southeast Asia. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion, as it requires mature forest conditions to thrive. Urban development and infrastructure projects have further fragmented remaining populations, while overcollection for timber and traditional uses has reduced wild stands.

Threat summary
