Tarenna monosperma

Unknown

Overview

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

Tarenna monosperma faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging operations and palm oil plantations continue to reduce available forest cover. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the moist forest conditions this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Tarenna monosperma inhabits lowland and montane tropical rainforests, typically found in the understory of primary and secondary forest formations. The species prefers moist, well-drained soils in areas with consistent rainfall and high humidity levels.
