Eugenia goiapabana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia goiapabana faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native Cerrado habitat. Urban development around its limited range in Goiás state has further reduced available habitat, while the species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Fire regimes altered by human activities also pose significant risks to remaining populations.
Habitat
This endemic species occurs in Cerrado savanna vegetation and gallery forests in Goiás state, Brazil. It typically grows in well-drained soils of the Brazilian tropical savanna ecosystem, often associated with riparian zones and forest edges.
