Boucardicus carylae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Boucardicus carylae faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its limited montane forest range is cleared for agriculture and human settlement. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with fragmentation isolating remaining populations. Climate change poses an additional risk by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required in its high-elevation habitat.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It requires specific microhabitat conditions with high humidity, stable temperatures, and dense canopy cover typical of undisturbed mountain forest ecosystems.
