Nectandra bartlettiana

Declining

Overview

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

Nectandra bartlettiana 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 forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging activities targeting valuable timber species in the same forest communities pose an additional threat to the structural integrity of its habitat.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits lowland and montane rainforests of the Amazon basin, typically found in primary forest understory and canopy layers. It occurs in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall, often associated with well-drained soils on slopes and ridges.
