Jupunba barnebyana
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.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid lowland rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in the forest canopy where it relies on dense vegetation cover. It requires intact forest ecosystems with high humidity levels and complex vertical structure for foraging and shelter.
