Terminalia kangeanensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Terminalia kangeanensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion on the Kangean Islands, where its limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions. Coastal development and agricultural expansion have fragmented the remaining forest patches where this endemic tree species occurs. The species' restricted distribution to a small island archipelago means that any habitat loss has disproportionate impacts on the entire global population.

Threat summary
