Declining

Overview

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

Hornschuchia obliqua faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as Atlantic Forest fragments continue to be cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change threatens to alter the specific microhabitat conditions this endemic species requires for survival.
