Acmanthera latifolia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Acmanthera latifolia faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching across its limited range in the Brazilian Cerrado. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, while frequent fires associated with land conversion destroy critical breeding and foraging areas. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to ongoing land-use changes in this biodiversity hotspot.
Habitat
This species inhabits the Brazilian Cerrado savanna, particularly areas with dense shrubland and gallery forests along watercourses. It shows preference for transitional zones between open grassland and woodland, requiring specific vegetation structure for nesting and foraging.
