Duguetia duckei

Declining

Overview

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

Duguetia duckei faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Brazilian Amazon. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soy cultivation, continues to reduce the species' remaining forest habitat. The species' restricted distribution makes it especially vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while logging activities further degrade the quality of remaining forest patches.

Threat summary
