Siparuna croatii

Local name: Limón De Monte

Unknown

Overview

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

Siparuna croatii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its montane forest habitat. The species' restricted range in Costa Rica's mountainous regions makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat conversion, while climate change poses additional risks by altering the temperature and moisture conditions of its specialized cloud forest environment.

Threat summary

Habitat

Siparuna croatii inhabits montane cloud forests and humid premontane forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters in Costa Rica's mountainous regions. The species requires the specific microclimate conditions found in these moist, fog-shrouded forests with their characteristic epiphyte-rich canopy structure.
