Campsiandra taphornii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Campsiandra taphornii faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Venezuelan Guiana Shield. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have reduced the availability of suitable forest habitats, while the species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Climate change may further stress remaining populations by altering precipitation patterns critical for this tropical tree species.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and gallery forests in the Venezuelan Guiana Shield region. It typically occurs in well-drained soils along riverbanks and forest edges at elevations below 500 meters.
