Lithocarpus celebicus is a predominant canopy tree in Sulawesi's mid-montane rain forests (1500–2000 meters elevation), together with Lithocarpus menadoensis and species of Myrtaceae and Agathis.[3]

The species has a large population and across a wide range, and is assessed as least concern by the IUCN.[1]
