Cyclophyllum tenuipes

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Cyclophyllum tenuipes faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in tropical rainforests. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have reduced the quality and connectivity of its forest habitat. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change may alter the humid conditions essential for its survival.
