Clavija repanda

Unknown

Overview

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

Clavija repanda faces significant pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its Central American range. The species' dependence on intact forest ecosystems makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining populations become isolated in increasingly small forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that affect the humid forest conditions this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Clavija repanda inhabits humid lowland and montane forests of Central America, typically found in the understory of primary and secondary tropical rainforests. The species thrives in areas with consistent moisture and partial shade, often growing along forest edges and in clearings within intact forest systems.
