Abronia anzuetoi
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Abronia anzuetoi faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and logging activities in its restricted montane forest range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human encroachment. Illegal collection for the pet trade poses an additional pressure on the already small population.
Habitat
This arboreal lizard inhabits cloud forests and pine-oak forests at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountains. It requires dense canopy cover and high humidity levels typical of montane forest ecosystems.
