Inga pleiogyna
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Inga pleiogyna faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its range in Central and South American tropical forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and crop cultivation, has reduced suitable forest habitat. The species' dependence on intact forest ecosystems makes it particularly vulnerable to ongoing land-use changes and forest degradation.
Habitat
Inga pleiogyna inhabits tropical rainforests and moist lowland forests, typically found in primary and secondary forest formations. The species occurs in both undisturbed forest areas and forest edges, generally at elevations below 1,000 meters.
