Lymanopoda marianna

Unknown

Overview

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

Lymanopoda marianna faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as cloud forests in the Colombian Andes are cleared for agriculture and cattle ranching. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required by this high-altitude specialist. The species' restricted range and fragmented populations make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from human encroachment.
