Anteremanthus hatschbachii

Unknown

Overview

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

Anteremanthus hatschbachii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its specialized cerrado habitat. Mining operations in the region pose additional threats through direct habitat destruction and soil contamination. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, with small population sizes offering little resilience against environmental pressures.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian species inhabits specialized cerrado vegetation formations, particularly rocky outcrops and sandy soils in the central plateau regions. It requires specific soil chemistry and drainage conditions typical of the cerrado's unique savanna-woodland ecosystem.
