Jacaranda grandifoliolata

Declining

Overview

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

Jacaranda grandifoliolata faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching across its limited range in the Brazilian Cerrado. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to encroach on the species' remaining strongholds, while altered fire regimes disrupt the natural savanna dynamics this species depends upon.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian tree inhabits the Cerrado savanna ecosystem, particularly favoring gallery forests and woodland margins with well-drained soils. It occurs in transitional zones between open grassland and dense forest, where it benefits from periodic natural fires and seasonal rainfall patterns.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Jacaranda grandifoliolata classified as Endangered?
Jacaranda grandifoliolata 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. Jacaranda grandifoliolata faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching across its limited range in the Brazilian Cerrado. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to encroach on the species' remaining strongholds, while altered fire regimes disrupt the natural savanna dynamics this species depends upon.
Where does Jacaranda grandifoliolata live?
Jacaranda grandifoliolata occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Jacaranda grandifoliolata?
The main threats to Jacaranda grandifoliolata are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
