Huberia piranii

Declining

Overview

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

Huberia piranii faces severe threats from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation within Brazil's Atlantic Forest, one of the world's most endangered biomes. Mining activities and agricultural expansion continue to reduce the species' already limited range, while climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the humid forest conditions this species requires.
