Gustavia parviflora
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Gustavia parviflora faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining populations become increasingly isolated. Logging activities targeting valuable timber species in its lowland rainforest habitat continue to reduce available breeding and foraging areas.
Habitat
Gustavia parviflora inhabits primary and secondary lowland rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall. The species occurs in both terra firme forests and occasionally in seasonally flooded areas, preferring well-drained soils with rich organic matter.
