Geostachys decurvata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Geostachys decurvata faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities. Deforestation and land conversion for cultivation have significantly reduced available habitat, while the small population size increases extinction risk from stochastic events.
Habitat
Geostachys decurvata inhabits tropical moist forests and forest edges in mountainous regions, typically found in areas with rich, well-drained soils. The species occurs in both primary and secondary forest habitats at moderate to high elevations.
