Eugenia haematocarpa

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Eugenia haematocarpa 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' slow growth rate and specific soil requirements make recovery particularly challenging in degraded landscapes.

Threat summary

Frequently asked questions

Why is Eugenia haematocarpa classified as Endangered?
Eugenia haematocarpa is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Eugenia haematocarpa 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' slow growth rate and specific soil requirements make recovery particularly challenging in degraded landscapes.
Where does Eugenia haematocarpa live?
Eugenia haematocarpa occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Eugenia haematocarpa?
The main threats to Eugenia haematocarpa are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
