Cordia ramirezii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cordia ramirezii faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across small forest patches. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce available habitat, while the species' specialized ecological requirements limit its ability to adapt to degraded environments.
Habitat
Cordia ramirezii inhabits tropical dry forests and semi-deciduous woodlands, typically occurring in lowland and foothill regions with well-drained soils. The species shows preference for forest edges and secondary growth areas within its native range.
