Coussarea friburgensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Coussarea friburgensis faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation within Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Urban expansion and agricultural conversion continue to reduce the species' already limited range, while climate change poses additional stress 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, specifically occurring in humid montane forests and forest edges. It typically inhabits areas with dense canopy cover and high moisture levels characteristic of the region's remaining forest fragments.
