⚠️ Endangered rosewood species native to Southeast Asia face significant threats from logging, fire, trafficking, and #ClimateChange.
A new study maps the extent of the threats and proposes conservation actions.

One of every two known dipterocarp species are threatened with extinction. Kudos to @bgci, @seabgnet, @trcrc_org and partners for the critical work to safeguard these species
Trees in the Dipterocarp family are dominant in SEAsia's rainforest. In some cases they comprise up to 90% of the canopy. However >350 Dipterocarp spp. are assessed as threatened. @GCCDipterocarps are taking action to save these tree giants:
