Neobuchia paulinae

Unknown

Overview

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

Neobuchia paulinae faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted range within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Deforestation and forest fragmentation for agricultural expansion and urban development continue to reduce available habitat. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbances.

Threat summary
