Madhuca pasquieri
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Madhuca pasquieri faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its native range in Southeast Asia. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations targeting its lowland forest habitats, while agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations continue to fragment remaining populations. Collection for timber and traditional uses compounds these pressures, as the species' valuable wood and edible fruits make it a target for exploitation.
Habitat
Madhuca pasquieri inhabits tropical lowland rainforests and mixed deciduous forests across Southeast Asia, typically occurring at elevations below 800 meters. The species prefers well-drained soils in primary and secondary forest environments, often found along forest edges and in areas with partial canopy cover.
