Duguetia magnolioidea

Unknown

Overview

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

Duguetia magnolioidea faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development further compound these threats, reducing the quality and connectivity of suitable habitat for this endemic tree species.
