Distribution and habitat

Rhopalocarpus macrorhamnifolius is known from populations along the east coast of Madagascar, specifically in the regions of Sava, Alaotra Mangoro, Analanjirofo, Atsinanana and Anosy.[3] Its habitat is humid to evergreen forests from sea-level to 1,500 m (5,000 ft) altitude. Some populations are within protected areas.[1]

Threats

Rhopalocarpus macrorhamnifolius is threatened by shifting patterns of agriculture. Because the species is used as timber and in the production of paper, subsistence harvesting is also a threat.[1]

gollark: Gold is supplied by a lens of the miner setup with some processing hooked to it. That dumps into the 28 or so storage caches.
gollark: Since I don't want to mine for those constantly, the machinery near the back grows redstone (and slime, string, cacti) and also produces several million wooden planks a day as byproduct. I don't know *what* to do with those.
gollark: I also wanted advanced computers (and tape drives and tapes) and turtles, so we need gold and redstone.
gollark: You see, this is designed to produce *infinite* computers. Glass and stone are easy. But computers need redstone.
gollark: It's about the right size.
