Licania indurata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Licania indurata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining populations become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development further threaten the intact forest ecosystems this species requires for survival.
Habitat
Licania indurata inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary forest understory and forest edges. The species requires intact forest canopy and is associated with well-drained soils in areas of high biodiversity.
