Meistera cerasina

Declining

Overview

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

Meistera cerasina faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its limited range. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation and changes in microclimate conditions. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the humid forest conditions this species depends upon.

Threat summary

Habitat

Meistera cerasina inhabits humid tropical forests, typically found in understory environments with specific microclimate requirements. The species shows preference for areas with consistent moisture levels and dense canopy cover that maintains stable temperature and humidity conditions.
