Acmanthera fernandesii
Declining
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Acmanthera fernandesii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities. Mining operations and infrastructure development pose additional pressures on the remaining populations.
Habitat
This species is endemic to specialized rocky outcrops and cerrado vegetation in Brazil's central highlands. It typically occurs in areas with well-drained soils and specific microclimate conditions associated with elevated terrain.
