Cuviera migeodii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cuviera migeodii faces severe threats from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in West African rainforests. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging activities continue to reduce the quality of remaining forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering rainfall patterns essential for the moist forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
Cuviera migeodii is endemic to lowland tropical rainforests in West Africa, typically found in the understory of primary and mature secondary forests. The species requires moist, shaded conditions with high humidity levels characteristic of intact forest ecosystems.
