Huberia piranii
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.
Habitat
Huberia piranii is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, inhabiting humid montane forests and forest edges. The species occurs in areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity levels typical of this critically threatened biome.
