Trisyngyne rubra

Since 1972, 13% of upper montane forests have been lost (Ash et al. 2009). The present trend for Nothofagus forest is to be reduced in area, through conversion to other land uses (Beehler and Marshall 2012). Being a large tree it is likely that this could be used as a timber species; Flora Malesiana (2017) state it is an excellent timber tree and is widely planted. The species been found within an areas where “logging road clearance” occurred (Clunie and Croft 1974). It is said that some species of Nothofagus can resprout in secondary forest, but where impacts are too destructive, it is unable to. In addition, seasonal fires are becoming more prevalent and beginning to occur in logged areas, especially in upland areas where 4.4% of forest loss 1972-2002 has occurred (Ash et al. 2009). Considering this species is found at 900 m, it is likely to experience seasonal fires as well as logging, which are likely to be the main threats to this species.

According to BGCI Plant Search (2017), there are no ex situ collections of this species. It is recommended that these are made for the species. No subpopulations are found within national parks or reserves throughout its range.
