Uvaria lungonyana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Uvaria lungonyana faces significant pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging activities continue to reduce the quality of remaining forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the humid forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
Uvaria lungonyana inhabits humid lowland tropical forests, typically found in the understory of primary and secondary forest formations. The species prefers areas with consistent moisture levels and dense canopy cover that provide the shaded conditions necessary for its growth and reproduction.
