Abarema acreana

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Abarema acreana faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its Amazonian range, particularly in Acre state, Brazil. The species' limited distribution makes it especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation from cattle ranching and soybean cultivation. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in the same forest ecosystems pose additional threats to remaining populations.
