Amanoa sinuosa

Declining

Overview

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

Amanoa sinuosa faces significant pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in tropical West and Central Africa. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional threats to the specialized forest ecosystems this species requires for survival.
