Allantoma pauciramosa

Declining

Overview

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

Allantoma pauciramosa faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in its lowland rainforest habitat pose an additional threat to population stability.

Threat summary

Habitat

This tree species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary forest areas with well-drained soils. It occurs in the understory and canopy layers of mature forest ecosystems at elevations below 500 meters.
