Cymbopetalum euneurum

Declining

Overview

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

Cymbopetalum euneurum faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central America. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the humid tropical conditions this endemic tree requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic tree species inhabits humid tropical forests and cloud forests at elevations between 800-1,500 meters in Central America. It requires well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels typical of undisturbed montane forest ecosystems.
