Goeppertia libbyana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Goeppertia libbyana faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its limited range in Central America. Deforestation for cattle ranching and crop cultivation has fragmented its forest habitat, while infrastructure development continues to reduce available territory. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with remaining populations increasingly isolated in forest fragments.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid lowland and montane forests in Central America, typically found in understory environments with dense canopy cover. It requires well-preserved forest ecosystems with consistent moisture levels and minimal human disturbance.
