Eugenia belemitana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia belemitana faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with small population sizes unable to withstand continued habitat conversion.
Habitat
This endemic species occurs in remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically in humid lowland and submontane forests with rich, well-drained soils. It favors forest edges and secondary growth areas within the broader Atlantic Forest ecosystem.
