Centropogon rubrodentatus

Unknown

Overview

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

Centropogon rubrodentatus faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted montane forest range. Deforestation for agriculture and human settlement expansion has fragmented its specialized cloud forest habitat, while climate change threatens to shift the altitudinal zones where this species can survive. The species' limited dispersal ability and specific microhabitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to these environmental changes.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters. It typically occurs in areas with persistent cloud cover, high humidity, and dense epiphytic vegetation that provides the specialized microhabitat conditions it requires.
