Inga cabelo
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Inga cabelo faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its range in the Amazon Basin. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soy cultivation, has reduced its primary forest habitat. The species' limited distribution and specific ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to ongoing forest conversion and degradation.
Habitat
Inga cabelo inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary forest understory and forest edges. The species occurs in humid, well-drained soils of terra firme forests at elevations below 500 meters.
