Mouriri doriana

Declining

Overview

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

Mouriri doriana faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining populations become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development further threaten the integrity of its forest habitat, while climate change may alter the specific environmental conditions this endemic species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Mouriri doriana is endemic to lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary forest understory and forest edges. The species appears to prefer areas with well-drained soils and specific microclimate conditions within the broader Amazonian forest ecosystem.
