Macrocnemum pilosinervium
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Macrocnemum pilosinervium faces primary threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its Amazonian range. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soy cultivation, continues to reduce available forest cover. Mining activities and infrastructure development further fragment remaining populations, while climate change may alter the humid forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid lowland rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary and secondary forest understory environments. It occurs in areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity levels characteristic of tropical rainforest ecosystems.
