The pohutukawa tree, native to New Zealand, faces several threats, including habitat loss due to urban development and land clearing. Invasive species, such as goats and possums, can damage the trees by feeding on their leaves and bark. Additionally, climate change poses risks through altered weather patterns and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this iconic species and its ecosystem.
