Tachigali beaurepairei

Unknown

Overview

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

Tachigali beaurepairei faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and sugarcane cultivation, continues to reduce and isolate remaining forest patches where this endemic tree species occurs. Urban development and infrastructure projects further compound habitat loss, while the species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats.
