Anilany helenae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Anilany helenae faces severe threats from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation in Madagascar's remaining rainforest fragments. The species' extremely limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from slash-and-burn agriculture and logging activities. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the humid forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid lowland and montane rainforests of eastern Madagascar, typically found in primary forest with dense canopy cover. It requires undisturbed forest environments with high humidity levels and complex vegetation structure.
