Eugenia rivulorum

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia rivulorum faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. The species' dependence on riparian zones makes it particularly vulnerable to water management projects and pollution from agricultural runoff.

Threat summary
