Bayadera hyalina

Unknown

Overview

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

Bayadera hyalina faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and urban development across its range in Southeast Asia. Deforestation and conversion of natural forest areas to palm oil plantations and rice paddies have fragmented populations and reduced available breeding sites. Climate change poses additional stress through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moisture-dependent environments this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits tropical and subtropical moist forests, particularly in lowland and hill forest environments with dense canopy cover. It shows preference for areas with high humidity and consistent moisture levels, often found in forest edges and secondary growth forests.
