ENEndangered
Cyathea fadenii
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cyathea fadenii faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in its limited montane forest range. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and slow growth rate typical of tree ferns. Agricultural expansion and logging activities continue to fragment the remaining forest patches where this endemic fern survives.
Habitat
Cyathea fadenii inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,000-2,500 meters. The species requires consistently moist conditions and partial shade typical of understory environments in these high-altitude forest ecosystems.
