Floscopa mannii

Declining

Overview

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

Floscopa mannii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and logging activities that fragment its forest habitat across West and Central Africa. The species' restricted range and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to deforestation, while collection for traditional medicine and ornamental use adds additional pressure on remaining populations.

Threat summary
