Carramboa trujillensis

Declining

Overview

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

Carramboa trujillensis faces severe pressure from urban expansion and agricultural development within its restricted range in northern Peru. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while collection pressure for the ornamental plant trade has further reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting the specialized microhabitats this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic species inhabits dry forest remnants and scrubland vegetation in the coastal regions of La Libertad Department, Peru. It typically grows in well-drained soils on hillsides and rocky outcrops between 200-800 meters elevation.
