Condaminea glabrata

Unknown

Overview

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

Condaminea glabrata faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion in its restricted range within Colombian cloud forests. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while ongoing agricultural expansion and infrastructure development continue to fragment its remaining habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific moisture and temperature conditions required by this cloud forest endemic.

Threat summary

Habitat

Condaminea glabrata is endemic to cloud forests in the Colombian Andes, typically occurring at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters. These humid montane forests are characterized by persistent cloud cover, high moisture levels, and specialized epiphytic plant communities.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Condaminea glabrata classified as Critically Endangered?
Condaminea glabrata is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Condaminea glabrata faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion in its restricted range within Colombian cloud forests. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while ongoing agricultural expansion and infrastructure development continue to fragment its remaining habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific moisture and temperature conditions required by this cloud forest endemic.
Where does Condaminea glabrata live?
Condaminea glabrata occurs in Peru. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Condaminea glabrata?
The main threats to Condaminea glabrata are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
