Ouratea conduplicata

Declining

Overview

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

Ouratea conduplicata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development further threaten the specialized forest ecosystems this endemic species requires for survival.
