Andira marauensis

Declining

Overview

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

Andira marauensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation in its restricted range along Brazil's Atlantic coast. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its limited distribution and the ongoing conversion of coastal forests for agriculture, urban development, and infrastructure projects. Selective logging targeting valuable timber species in its habitat further reduces available nesting and foraging sites.
