Cassipourea adamii

Unknown

Overview

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

Cassipourea adamii faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in West African rainforests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development further threaten the integrity of its forest ecosystem, while climate change may alter the humid conditions essential for its survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests in West Africa, typically found in the understory of humid lowland forests. It occurs in areas with high rainfall and consistent moisture levels, often associated with riverine forest margins and forest clearings.
