Mollinedia glaziovii

Declining

Overview

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

Mollinedia glaziovii faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation within Brazil's Atlantic Forest, one of the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots. Urban expansion and agricultural conversion continue to reduce and isolate remaining forest patches where this endemic shrub occurs. The species' restricted range and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to these anthropogenic pressures, with climate change potentially exacerbating stress on remaining populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian shrub inhabits the understory of Atlantic Forest remnants, typically occurring in humid montane and submontane forests. It grows in shaded environments with rich, well-drained soils characteristic of mature forest ecosystems.
