Cameraria microphylla

Declining

Overview

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

Cameraria microphylla faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural expansion and urban development. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with fragmentation isolating remaining populations and reducing genetic diversity. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific microclimatic conditions this endemic species requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic species inhabits tropical montane forests and cloud forest ecosystems, typically found at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It requires specific microclimatic conditions with high humidity and consistent moisture levels characteristic of these specialized forest environments.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Cameraria microphylla classified as Endangered?
Cameraria microphylla is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Cameraria microphylla faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural expansion and urban development. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with fragmentation isolating remaining populations and reducing genetic diversity. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific microclimatic conditions this endemic species requires for survival.
Where does Cameraria microphylla live?
Cameraria microphylla occurs in Cuba. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Cameraria microphylla?
The main threats to Cameraria microphylla are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
