Ginoria arborea
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ginoria arborea faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Caribbean range, particularly for agricultural development and urban expansion. The species' limited distribution across scattered island populations makes it especially vulnerable to localized habitat destruction. Coastal development and tourism infrastructure have further reduced suitable forest habitat, while the small, fragmented populations are susceptible to genetic bottlenecks and local extinctions from natural disasters.
Habitat
Ginoria arborea inhabits tropical dry forests and coastal woodlands across the Caribbean islands, typically growing in well-drained soils at low to moderate elevations. The species is found in both primary and secondary forest formations, often along forest edges and in areas with seasonal rainfall patterns.
