Description |
Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Recorded from Sabah (Crocker Range to Mt. Kinabalu) and Sarawak (Gunung Murud) in Malaysia. The majority of localities for this species are in Sabah in the Crocker Ranges and Mt. Kinabalu. Recently, it has been recorded from Gunung Murud in Pulung Tau National Park, northern Sawarak (Pearce 2006). It is likely that it occurs in the intervening areas and possibly in adjoining parts of Kalimantan (Indonesia).

Population [top]
Population: No quantitative information about the population is available and this would be difficult to obtain because the species is difficult to identify with certainty (pollen cones are neede to confirm identification). The population trend is undoubtedly going downward due to unsustainable logging of this slow growing species.
Current Population Trend: Decreasing
Additional data:
? Continuing decline of mature individuals: Yes
? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: An emergent tree in lower montane evergreen tropical rainforest (1,050 to 1,700 m). It occurs in Dipterocarp rainforest and forest dominated by Fagaceae.
Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Yes
Generation Length (years): 70
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: This species is not distinguished from A. borneensis by foresters and will be logged as that species or dammar or kauri timber. Its uses are similar to those of A. borneensis.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Logging is the most serious threat to the survival of this species. It has a limited range but in part of its range it is sympatric with A. borneensis. Foresters and loggers do not distinguish between the two as both produce the same large boles of high quality Kauri timber.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: This species is present in the Crocker Range National Park, which has some areas with undisturbed primary forest left. It is not known what proportion of the population is within this protected area. It is also present at lower elevation in Mount Kinabalu National Park. This is a small proportion of the population, at least when estimated on the basis of the extent of occurrence for the species. It has recently been recorded from Pulong Tau National Park in Sarawak.
