Magnolia pedrazae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Magnolia pedrazae faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Colombian Andes. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets the cloud forest ecosystems where it naturally occurs. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and moisture conditions required for this high-altitude magnolia's survival.
Habitat
Magnolia pedrazae is endemic to cloud forests in the Colombian Andes, typically occurring at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters. The species requires the specific humid, cool conditions found in these montane ecosystems, growing in association with other endemic Andean flora.
