Jupunba barnebyana

Declining

Overview

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

Jupunba barnebyana faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have significantly reduced available forest cover, while climate change threatens to alter the humid conditions essential for this arboreal species. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.

Threat summary

Habitat
