Overview

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

Allantoma kuhlmannii faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Brazilian Amazon. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and dependence on intact lowland rainforest ecosystems. Agricultural expansion, logging operations, and infrastructure development continue to reduce and fragment the remaining suitable habitat for this critically endangered tree species.
