Eremanthus veadeiroensis

Declining

Overview

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

Eremanthus veadeiroensis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native cerrado habitat. Fire regime alterations, particularly increased frequency of anthropogenic fires, threaten the species' natural regeneration cycles. Mining activities and infrastructure development in the Chapada dos Veadeiros region pose additional localized threats to remaining populations.
