Louisea edeaensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Louisea edeaensis faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Cameroon's coastal forests. Mining activities and logging operations have fragmented its remaining habitat, while urban development around Edéa continues to reduce available forest cover. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests in the coastal region of Cameroon, particularly around the Edéa area. It requires intact forest canopy and is associated with primary and mature secondary forest environments.
