Inga tenuicalyx
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Inga tenuicalyx faces significant pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central and South America. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional threats to the specialized humid forest ecosystems this species requires for survival.
Habitat
Inga tenuicalyx inhabits humid lowland and montane forests, typically found in primary and secondary forest environments with high moisture levels. The species occurs in tropical rainforest ecosystems at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 1,500 meters.
