Lamanonia brasiliensis

Declining

Overview

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

Lamanonia brasiliensis faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation across Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soybean cultivation, continues to reduce and isolate remaining forest patches where this endemic tree species occurs. Urban development and infrastructure projects further compound habitat loss, while the species' limited dispersal ability makes recolonization of cleared areas extremely difficult.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian tree species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically occurring in humid montane and submontane forests at elevations between 500-1,200 meters. It grows in well-drained soils within primary and secondary forest formations, often associated with cloud forest conditions in southeastern Brazil.
