Eugenia albida

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia albida faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented and isolated. Invasive plant species compete for resources in its native habitat, while climate change alters the specific environmental conditions this endemic species requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

Eugenia albida inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, typically found in lowland and montane forest ecosystems with specific soil and moisture requirements.
