Couepia bondarii

Unknown

Overview

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

Couepia bondarii faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce available habitat, while the species' specific ecological requirements limit its ability to adapt to degraded environments.
