Licania condoriensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Licania condoriensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Andean foothills. Mining activities and infrastructure development have fragmented remaining forest patches, while climate change threatens to shift suitable habitat zones beyond the species' adaptive capacity. The conversion of cloud forests to cattle pasture represents the most immediate threat to surviving populations.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests in the Andean foothills, typically occurring at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters. It favors areas with consistent moisture and dense canopy cover, often found along stream valleys and on steep slopes with rich, well-drained soils.
