Pagamea harleyi
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pagamea harleyi faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have reduced the quality of its specialized forest habitat, while climate change threatens to alter the humid conditions this species requires for survival.
Habitat
Pagamea harleyi inhabits humid lowland rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in the understory of primary and mature secondary forests. This species requires dense forest cover with high humidity levels and appears to be restricted to specific soil types and microclimatic conditions.
