Chrysochlamys pavonii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Chrysochlamys pavonii faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' dependence on mature forest canopy makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural conversion. Mining activities and urban expansion have further reduced available habitat, while the species' apparent rarity and specialized ecological requirements make population recovery extremely challenging.
Habitat
This species inhabits the canopy of mature Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) in southeastern Brazil, typically found in primary and well-developed secondary forests. It appears to require dense forest cover with established canopy structure, making it highly sensitive to forest disturbance and edge effects.
