Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Cynometra<\/span>\u00a0cebuensis<\/span><\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>F. Seid. is an endemic and threatened tree from the Philippines. The species was previously described to exclusively thrive in the Tabunan Forest of the Central Cebu Protected Landscape. Due to its narrow geographic distribution and threats from land conversion, slash-and-burn activities and non-regulated wood harvesting by locals,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>C.<\/span>\u00a0cebuensis<\/span><\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>was assessed as Critically Endangered (CR) under criteria B1a and B1b (as well as B2a and B2b) of the IUCN Red List in 2013. The present study provides new additional locations of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>C.<\/span>\u00a0cebuensis<\/span><\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>in the Municipalities of Argao and Minglanilla in Cebu along with population data and habitat characteristics for each site. Although new populations of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>C.<\/span>\u00a0cebuensis<\/span><\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>were discovered, it remains at significant risk of extinction in its natural habitat. Urgent and comprehensive conservation efforts are imperative to prevent its extinction.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
