Eugenia brownsbergii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia brownsbergii faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation in Suriname's interior forests. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have reduced its already limited range, while the species' apparent endemism to specific forest types makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction. Climate change may further stress remaining populations by altering the moisture and temperature conditions of its specialized montane forest habitat.
Habitat
This endemic species inhabits the montane and submontane forests of Suriname's interior highlands, particularly in areas with well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels. It appears to be restricted to specific elevational zones within tropical rainforest ecosystems.
