CRCritically Endangered
Prostherapis dunni
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Prostherapis dunni faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion in its restricted montane forest range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change poses additional risks to its specialized high-altitude habitat requirements.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It requires dense canopy cover and high humidity levels typical of undisturbed mountain forest ecosystems.
