Neea alumnorum

Declining

Overview

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

Neea alumnorum faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its limited range in the Caribbean. Deforestation for cattle ranching and crop cultivation has fragmented its forest habitat, while coastal development threatens remaining lowland populations. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat loss, as entire subpopulations can be eliminated by single development projects.

Threat summary

Habitat

Neea alumnorum inhabits tropical dry forests and semi-deciduous woodlands in the Caribbean region, typically occurring in lowland areas and coastal plains. The species prefers well-drained soils in forest edges and secondary growth areas.
