Deguelia hatschbachii

Unknown

Overview

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

Deguelia hatschbachii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native Cerrado habitat. The species' limited geographic range in central Brazil makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat conversion, while fire regime alterations associated with human activities further degrade remaining forest patches.
