Navia schultesiana

Unknown

Overview

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

Navia schultesiana faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in the Venezuelan Guiana Shield tepuis where it occurs. Mining activities and infrastructure development threaten the specialized rocky outcrop environments this bromeliad requires. Climate change poses additional risks by altering the moisture regimes and temperature patterns essential for this high-altitude endemic species.

Threat summary

Habitat

This bromeliad is endemic to the tepuis (table mountains) of the Venezuelan Guiana Shield, growing on rocky outcrops and cliff faces at high elevations. It inhabits specialized microhabitats on sandstone formations where it depends on fog and rainfall for moisture in these isolated montane environments.
