Magnolia rimachii

Unknown

Overview

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

Magnolia rimachii faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion in Peru's cloud forest regions. The species' extremely limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while its slow growth rate and specific ecological requirements hinder natural recovery. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture and temperature conditions essential for cloud forest ecosystems.

Threat summary

Habitat

Magnolia rimachii is endemic to the cloud forests of northern Peru, occurring at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters in the Andes. The species requires the consistently moist, fog-shrouded conditions typical of montane cloud forests, growing in areas with high humidity and frequent cloud cover.
