Inga grazielae

Unknown

Overview

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

Inga grazielae faces significant pressure 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 leguminous tree species occurs. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction and edge effects from surrounding human activities.
