Palicourea jaramilloi

Unknown

Overview

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

Palicourea jaramilloi faces significant pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat conversion in Colombia's Andean cloud forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and crop cultivation, continues to fragment the species' limited montane habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required by this cloud forest endemic.
