Campomanesia anemonea

Declining

Overview

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

Campomanesia anemonea faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native Cerrado habitat. Urban development and infrastructure projects further reduce available habitat, while the species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Fire regime alterations in the Cerrado, often associated with agricultural practices, disrupt the natural ecosystem dynamics this endemic species depends upon.

Threat summary
