Eugenia binata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia binata faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted range. The species' extremely limited 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 poses additional stress through altered precipitation patterns affecting this moisture-dependent species.
Habitat
Eugenia binata inhabits tropical moist forests and forest edges, typically in areas with well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels. The species is adapted to specific microhabitat conditions within its native range, requiring particular soil chemistry and forest canopy structure for optimal growth and reproduction.
