Carinigera tantilla
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Carinigera tantilla faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbance. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires for survival.
Habitat
This critically endangered species inhabits specialized microhabitats within tropical forest ecosystems, typically found in areas with specific moisture and temperature requirements. It occupies a very restricted geographic range, making it highly dependent on the preservation of its particular habitat conditions.
