Faramea atlantica
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Faramea atlantica faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation within Brazil's Atlantic Forest, one of the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots. Urban expansion, agricultural conversion, and infrastructure development continue to reduce and isolate the remaining forest patches where this endemic species occurs. The species' restricted range and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to these anthropogenic pressures.
Habitat
Faramea atlantica is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, where it inhabits humid lowland and montane forests. This species typically occurs in well-preserved forest understory environments with high humidity and dense canopy cover.
