Inga gereauana

Unknown

Overview

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

Inga gereauana faces primary threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and crop cultivation, continues to reduce and isolate remaining forest patches where this species occurs. Urban development and infrastructure projects further fragment the already restricted habitat, making populations more vulnerable to local extinctions.

Threat summary

Inga gereauana is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Inga gereauana faces primary threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and crop cultivation, continues to reduce and isolate remaining forest patches where this species occurs. Urban development and infrastructure projects further fragment the already restricted habitat, making populations more vulnerable to local extinctions.
Where does Inga gereauana live?
Inga gereauana occurs in Peru. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
