Marila spiciformis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Marila spiciformis faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented and isolated. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific environmental conditions this species requires for survival.
Habitat
Marila spiciformis inhabits specialized microhabitats within tropical and subtropical regions, typically found in areas with specific soil and moisture conditions. The species requires undisturbed native vegetation and is highly sensitive to environmental changes.
