Dendrocousinsia fasciculata

Unknown

Overview

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

Dendrocousinsia fasciculata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in tropical montane forests. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation, as it depends on specific microclimate conditions found only in undisturbed cloud forest environments. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture and temperature regimes essential for this species' survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits tropical montane cloud forests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters, where it requires the specific humidity and temperature conditions created by persistent cloud cover. It is typically found in primary forest environments with dense canopy cover and minimal human disturbance.
