Passiflora pamplonensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Passiflora pamplonensis faces severe threats from agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted Colombian range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while cattle ranching and crop cultivation continue to encroach on remaining cloud forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required by this high-altitude endemic.

Threat summary
