Pouteria krukovii

Unknown

Overview

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

Pouteria krukovii faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Amazonian range. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soy cultivation, continues to fragment the lowland rainforest ecosystems this species depends upon. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species also degrade the forest structure and canopy integrity essential for this tree's survival.

Threat summary
