Gonzalagunia pauciflora

Unknown

Overview

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

Gonzalagunia pauciflora faces significant pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural expansion and urban development. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with fragmentation of remaining forest patches limiting population connectivity and genetic exchange. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the humid conditions this species requires.

Threat summary
