Eugenia bunchosiifolia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia bunchosiifolia faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in Brazil's 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 such as logging and land conversion for cattle ranching.
Habitat
This endemic Brazilian species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically occurring in humid lowland and montane forests with well-drained soils. It is found in both primary forest areas and secondary growth forests that have experienced some disturbance but retain native canopy structure.
