Iryanthera campinae

Unknown

Overview

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

Iryanthera campinae faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soy cultivation, has eliminated significant portions of its lowland rainforest habitat. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to ongoing forest conversion and degradation.

Threat summary
