Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: The natural habitat of G. oxycarpum is tropical lowland rainforest.
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The major threat to G. oxycarpum is its restricted range and habitat loss through clearing of forest for cash crops and through logging. The ecoregion “Mentawai Islands rain forests” is classified as Critical/Endangered.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: About 47 % (1,905 km2) of Siberut Island is protected as Siberut National Park. It is unknown whether the species has been found in this park, but it is not unlikely. The protection of forest and biodiversity are of national and international importance as the level of endemism is high on the island; there are for example four endemic primates and more than 60 % of all mammals are endemic as are many species of other groups. Siberut was recognized as a Biosphere Reserve in 1981.
