Description complète des menacesExpert
Areca costulata is primarily threatened by land conversion and habitat degradation brought by commodity-driven deforestation, shifting cultivation, urbanization and forestry activities such as logging. A significant loss of natural forests due to land use change was reported in its localities based on analysed data from Global Forest Watch (2022). As of 2020, the forest cover lost in the species localities is approximately 37,400 ha in Leyte, 38,400 ha in Samar, 5,600 ha in Dinagat Islands, 25,300 ha in Bukidnon, and 43,600 ha in Surigao del Sur. Interventions and conservation actions are highly recommended to prevent further tree cover loss and population declines.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesExpert

Areca costulata is assessed as an 'Other Threatened Species' in the Philippine Red List (DENR-BMB 2017). Its occurrence in Samar Island Natural Park serves as in situ conservation of the species. In addition, it is known in at least three botanic gardens globally as ex situ collections (BGCI 2019). Further inventory and research are needed to account for its remaining population size in the wild. This will help in creating a relevant conservation action plan.
