Andreadoxa flava

Declining

Overview

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

Andreadoxa flava faces severe threats from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in West and Central Africa. The species' dependence on intact forest canopy makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and slash-and-burn agriculture. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns essential for the forest ecosystems this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Andreadoxa flava inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests in West and Central Africa, typically found in the forest canopy and mid-story layers. The species shows preference for areas with dense vegetation cover and high humidity levels characteristic of intact forest ecosystems.
