Deprea andersonii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Deprea andersonii faces significant pressure from habitat conversion as Andean cloud forests are cleared for agriculture and cattle ranching. The species' restricted range in the Colombian Andes makes it particularly vulnerable to localized deforestation and fragmentation. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures may shift suitable habitat zones upslope, potentially reducing available habitat area.
Habitat
Deprea andersonii is endemic to cloud forests in the Colombian Andes, typically found at elevations between 2,000-3,000 meters. The species inhabits humid montane forests characterized by persistent cloud cover and high moisture levels.
