Clathrotropis brunnea

Unknown

Overview

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

Clathrotropis brunnea faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central and South American tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in these biodiverse forests directly impact the canopy structure essential for this tree's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

Clathrotropis brunnea inhabits lowland and montane tropical rainforests, typically found in the canopy and subcanopy layers of primary and mature secondary forests. The species occurs in humid forest environments with consistent rainfall patterns across elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 1,500 meters.

Why is Clathrotropis brunnea classified as Endangered?
Clathrotropis brunnea is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Clathrotropis brunnea faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central and South American tropical forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in these biodiverse forests directly impact the canopy structure essential for this tree's survival.
Where does Clathrotropis brunnea live?
Clathrotropis brunnea occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
