Meineckia acuminata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Meineckia acuminata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in tropical Africa. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging activities continue to reduce the quality of remaining forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the humid forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
Meineckia acuminata inhabits humid tropical forests and forest margins in West and Central Africa. The species typically occurs in secondary forest areas and forest edges where it can tolerate some degree of disturbance.
