Faramea campanularis

Declining

Overview

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

Faramea campanularis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. The species' restriction to specific elevational zones makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development have further reduced available habitat, while climate change threatens to shift suitable conditions beyond the species' dispersal capabilities.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic shrub inhabits the understory of Atlantic Forest remnants in southeastern Brazil, typically occurring in montane and submontane forests between 800-1,500 meters elevation. It requires well-drained soils and the humid microclimate provided by intact forest canopy cover.

Faramea campanularis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. The species' restriction to specific elevational zones makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development have further reduced available habitat, while climate change threatens to shift suitable conditions beyond the species' dispersal capabilities.
Where does Faramea campanularis live?
Faramea campanularis occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Faramea campanularis?
The main threats to Faramea campanularis 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.
