Centropogon fimbriatulus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Centropogon fimbriatulus faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted montane forest range. Deforestation and agricultural expansion have fragmented its cloud forest habitat, while climate change threatens to shift suitable temperature and moisture conditions upslope beyond available habitat. The species' limited dispersal ability and specialized habitat requirements make population recovery particularly challenging once local extinctions occur.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid upper elevation forests, typically found in areas with persistent moisture and cool temperatures. It occurs in both primary and secondary forest habitats but shows preference for areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity levels.
