''Gilbertiodendron pachyanthum'' is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Cameroon. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species.

Cameroon
Cameroon (; french: Cameroun, ff, Kamerun), officially the Republic of Cameroon (french: République du Cameroun, links=no), is a country in west- central Africa. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west and north; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Its coastline lies on the Bight of Biafra, part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean. Due to its strategic position at the crossroads between West Africa and Central Africa, it has been categorized as being in both camps. Its nearly 27 million people speak 250 native languages. Early inhabitants of the territory included the Sao civilisation around Lake Chad, and the Baka hunter-gatherers in the southeastern rainforest. Portuguese explorers reached the coast in the 15th century and named the area ''Rio dos Camarões'' (''Shrimp River''), which became ''Cameroon'' in English. Fulani soldiers founded the Adamawa E ...

Habitat Loss
Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby reducing biodiversity and species abundance. Habitat destruction is the leading cause of biodiversity loss. Fragmentation and loss of habitat have become one of the most important topics of research in ecology as they are major threats to the survival of endangered species. Activities such as harvesting natural resources, industrial production and urbanization are human contributions to habitat destruction. Pressure from agriculture is the principal human cause. Some others include mining, logging, trawling, and urban sprawl. Habitat destruction is currently considered the primary cause of species extinction worldwide. Environmental factors can contribute to habitat destruction more indirectly. Geological processes, climate change, ...

Gilbertiodendron
''Gilbertiodendron'' is a genus of legume in the family Fabaceae. It consists of about 25 species of tree native to tropical Africa. Members of this genus were formerly considered to be in the genus ''Macrolobium'' but that genus is now restricted to species growing in tropical America. It is closely related to ''Pellegriniodendron''. Species ''Gilbertiodendron'' includes the following species: * ''Gilbertiodendron bilineatum'' * ''Gilbertiodendron brachystegioides'' * ''Gilbertiodendron dewevrei'' * ''Gilbertiodendron diphyllum'' (Harms) Estrella & Devesa * ''Gilbertiodendron grandiflorum'' * ''Gilbertiodendron grandistipulatum'' * ''Gilbertiodendron klainei'' * ''Gilbertiodendron mayombense'' * ''Gilbertiodendron ogoouense'' * ''Gilbertiodendron pachyanthum'' * ''Gilbertiodendron preussii'' * ''Gilbertiodendron robynsianum'' * ''Gilbertiodendron splendidum'' References Gilbertiodendron, Fabaceae genera {{Detarioideae-stub ...

Endemic Flora Of Cameroon
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. ''Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
