Boucardicus divei

Unknown

Overview

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

Boucardicus divei faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as coastal development and agricultural expansion fragment its limited range in the Caribbean region. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting its specialized microhabitat requirements.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits specialized microhabitats within tropical coastal forests and adjacent scrubland areas, typically requiring specific moisture and vegetation conditions.
