Eugenia hatschbachii

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia hatschbachii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native Atlantic Forest habitat. Urban development and infrastructure projects further reduce available habitat, while the species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Climate change poses an additional risk through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the humid forest conditions this endemic species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian species inhabits humid Atlantic Forest remnants in southeastern Brazil, typically found in well-preserved forest understory and edge environments. It requires the specific microclimate conditions of intact Atlantic Forest ecosystems, including consistent moisture levels and forest canopy protection.
