Henriettea acunae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Henriettea acunae faces significant pressure from habitat destruction as montane forests in its limited range are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change poses additional risks by altering the specific temperature and moisture conditions required for its survival in high-elevation ecosystems.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid mountain slopes at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It typically grows in the understory of primary and secondary forests where consistent moisture and filtered sunlight create optimal conditions for its development.
