Eugenia morii

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia morii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native forest habitat. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moist forest conditions this endemic species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Eugenia morii is endemic to moist tropical forests in its restricted range, typically found in understory and mid-canopy environments. The species requires specific microclimate conditions with consistent moisture levels and partial shade provided by the forest canopy.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Eugenia morii classified as Critically Endangered?
Eugenia morii is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Eugenia morii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native forest habitat. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moist forest conditions this endemic species requires.
Where does Eugenia morii live?
Eugenia morii occurs in French Guiana. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Eugenia morii?
The main threats to Eugenia morii 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.
