Cordia trichocladophylla
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cordia trichocladophylla faces severe threats from ongoing deforestation and habitat conversion in its restricted range within the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, with remaining populations fragmented by agricultural expansion and urban development. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the humid forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This species is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, where it inhabits humid lowland and montane forests. It typically occurs in primary and well-preserved secondary forest areas with dense canopy cover and high moisture levels.
