Lunania subcoriacea

Stable

Overview

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

Lunania subcoriacea faces significant pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Caribbean. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce available habitat, while the small population size increases extinction risk from stochastic events.
