Annona oleifolia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Annona oleifolia faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest region. Deforestation for sugarcane plantations and pastureland has fragmented remaining populations, while urban development continues to encroach on critical habitat areas. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.
Habitat
Annona oleifolia inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments in southeastern Brazil, typically found in lowland tropical rainforest and forest edges. The species occurs in both primary and secondary forest formations, often in areas with well-drained soils at elevations below 800 meters.
