Maples are keystone species in northern temperate forests and are much valued as a source of revenue for products such as maple syrup and timber. As with many other tree species, maples are under threat in the wild primarily as a result of forest degradation and destruction, as well as of climate change. This report presents a review of the conservation status in the wild of maples worldwide.
