Tristaniopsis ninndoensis

Declining

Overview

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

Tristaniopsis ninndoensis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while logging activities and infrastructure development continue to fragment its remaining forest habitat. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moist forest conditions this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This critically endangered tree species is endemic to moist tropical forests in Vietnam, typically found in montane forest ecosystems at moderate elevations. It requires specific soil and moisture conditions characteristic of undisturbed primary forest environments.

Tristaniopsis ninndoensis is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Tristaniopsis ninndoensis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while logging activities and infrastructure development continue to fragment its remaining forest habitat. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moist forest conditions this species requires.
Where does Tristaniopsis ninndoensis live?
Tristaniopsis ninndoensis occurs in France, and New Caledonia. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
