Paradrymonia fuquaiana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Paradrymonia fuquaiana faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central American cloud forests. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to climate change, as rising temperatures force suitable conditions to higher elevations where less habitat is available. Mining activities and infrastructure development further fragment the remaining forest patches essential for this endemic plant's survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters. It requires consistently moist conditions and is typically found in the understory of primary and well-developed secondary forests with high humidity and frequent fog cover.
