Couratari longipedicellata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Couratari longipedicellata faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' dependence on mature lowland rainforest makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural conversion. Its restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements leave little room for population recovery as forest cover continues to decline throughout its range.
Habitat
This species inhabits mature lowland rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary forest with dense canopy cover. It occurs in terra firme forests and occasionally in transitional forest zones, preferring areas with high tree diversity and minimal human disturbance.
