Caraipa balbinensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Caraipa balbinensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Brazilian Amazon. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have significantly reduced the quality and extent of its forest habitat. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with small population fragments increasingly isolated from one another.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests in the Brazilian Amazon, typically found in primary forest areas with dense canopy cover. It occurs in terra firme forests on well-drained soils, preferring undisturbed forest environments.
