Meistera oligantha
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Meistera oligantha faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted montane forest range. Deforestation for agriculture and logging activities have fragmented its specialized cloud forest habitat, while climate change threatens to shift the altitudinal zones where this species can survive. The limited geographic distribution makes the species particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes.
Habitat
Meistera oligantha inhabits montane cloud forests and humid mountain slopes, typically found at elevations between 1,500-2,500 meters. The species requires the specific microclimate conditions of these high-altitude forests, including consistent moisture levels and cool temperatures.
