Assessment Information [top]

Red List Category & Criteria: Near Threatened ver 3.1
Year Published: 2010
Assessor/s: Thomas, P.
Reviewer/s: Farjon, A. & Gardner, M.
Contributor/s: Munzinger, J., Jaffré, T. & Lowry, P.
Justification:
Although both the area of occupancy and extent of occurrence are within the thresholds for Vulnerable, it is uncertain if there has been sufficient decline to justify that category. Several subpopulations have been effected by mining activities and fire (for example in the Paéoua and Boulinda areas) while others have become more fragmented or degraded. Although widespread, this species is less frequent than Falcatifolium taxoides (Least Concern) which is often associated with A. pancheri.
