Archolaemus santosi
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Archolaemus santosi faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted range within Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Deforestation and forest fragmentation for agricultural expansion and urban development have reduced the quality and connectivity of its forest habitat. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with small population sizes increasing extinction risk from stochastic events.
Habitat
This species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments in southeastern Brazil, preferring mature forest areas with dense canopy cover. It occurs in both primary and well-developed secondary forest habitats within its restricted geographic range.
