Nasa tabularis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Nasa tabularis faces significant pressure from habitat destruction as cloud forests in the Andes are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' restricted range in high-altitude montane environments makes it particularly vulnerable to climate change, as warming temperatures force suitable habitat upslope with limited refuge areas available. Mining activities and infrastructure development in the Andean region further fragment the remaining forest patches essential for this species' survival.
Habitat
Nasa tabularis inhabits cloud forests and humid montane woodlands in the Andean region, typically occurring at elevations between 2,000-3,500 meters. The species requires the persistent moisture and stable microclimatic conditions characteristic of these high-altitude forest ecosystems.
