Manilkara kanosiensis

Declining

Overview

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

Manilkara kanosiensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and logging activities across its limited range in Southeast Asia. The species' slow growth rate and specific habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation, while its valuable timber properties have led to targeted harvesting pressure that further reduces wild populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits tropical lowland rainforests and mixed dipterocarp forests, typically occurring in primary forest areas with well-drained soils. It is found in both hill forests and coastal lowland areas, preferring undisturbed forest environments with closed canopy cover.
