Terminalia parviflora
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Terminalia parviflora faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion across its native range in the Western Ghats and other parts of India. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations targeting its valuable timber, while agricultural expansion and urban development continue to fragment remaining forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the species' reproductive cycles and seedling establishment.
Habitat
This deciduous tree species inhabits tropical dry forests and mixed deciduous woodlands, primarily in the Western Ghats region of India. It typically grows in well-drained soils at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 1,000 meters, often forming part of the forest canopy in areas with distinct wet and dry seasons.
