Podonephelium subaequilaterum

Podonephelium subaequilaterum is a tree species endemic to the sclerophyllous forests of New Caledonia. This species of trees suffers from forest reduction and fragmentation due to agriculture on the west coast of the country. The main threat to the species comes from habitat destruction due to the Javan rusa deer and uncontrolled forest fires. Its area of occupancy (AOO) is estimated to be 12 square kilometres (4.6 sq mi) and its extent of occurrence (EOO) is around 15 square kilometres (5.8 sq mi). The species is observed to be in a continuing decline of its quality of habitat, number of subpopulations, extent of occurrence, area of occupancy and the number of mature individuals.[1][2]

gollark: That... is basically what verbose means?
gollark: This is verbose and loses information, yes.
gollark: I'm not saying C programs will immediately explode and segfault and erase all your data if a file doesn't exist or something. I'm saying that manually propagating error codes, which seems to be the general approach to error handling (outside of just immediately `exit`ing or `longjmp`y things), is verbose and bad.
gollark: What?
gollark: The rust docs probably have something.
