Naga (Flores)

Sympetalandra schmutzii

Unknown

Overview

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

Sympetalandra schmutzii faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range on Flores Island. The species' restriction to specific forest habitats makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while small population sizes increase extinction risk from stochastic events. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional threats to remaining forest patches where this endemic species persists.
