Aniba pedicellata

Unknown

Overview

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

Aniba pedicellata faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species is particularly vulnerable to selective logging operations that target valuable timber species in its lowland rainforest habitat. Agricultural expansion and cattle ranching have further reduced available habitat, while the species' apparent rarity and restricted distribution make it especially susceptible to local extinctions from even small-scale disturbances.

Threat summary

Habitat

Aniba pedicellata inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically occurring in primary forest understory and mid-canopy layers. The species appears to prefer well-drained terra firme forests with rich, humid soils characteristic of undisturbed Amazonian ecosystems.
