Lorostemon coelhoi

Declining

Overview

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

Lorostemon coelhoi faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native habitat. Urban development and infrastructure projects further reduce available habitat, while the species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Climate change may alter precipitation patterns critical for this plant's survival in its restricted range.
