Eugenia mandonii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia mandonii faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with deforestation for cattle ranching and crop cultivation fragmenting remaining forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting the humid forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
Eugenia mandonii is endemic to humid montane forests in the Andes, typically occurring in cloud forest environments at elevations between 1,500-2,500 meters. The species requires well-preserved forest canopy and understory conditions with consistent moisture levels.
