Neomitranthes amblymitra
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Neomitranthes amblymitra faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and agricultural expansion within its restricted range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while urban development continues to encroach on remaining forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the humid forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This endemic Brazilian species inhabits humid Atlantic Forest remnants, typically found in understory and mid-canopy layers of primary and secondary forests. It requires well-preserved forest environments with high humidity and dense canopy cover.
