Campomanesia blanchetiana

Declining

Overview

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

Campomanesia blanchetiana faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive habitat destruction across Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Urban expansion, agricultural conversion, and infrastructure development have fragmented the remaining forest patches where this endemic species occurs. The species' restricted range and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to ongoing deforestation pressures in one of the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots.
