Uvariodendron magnificum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Uvariodendron magnificum faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in East African montane forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging activities target the mature forest canopy where this tree species thrives. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and moisture conditions required for its montane forest habitat.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane forests in East Africa, typically occurring in the canopy layer of mature tropical mountain forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It requires the specific climatic conditions and forest structure found in these high-altitude ecosystems.
