Pavonia crassipedicellata

Declining

Overview

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

Pavonia crassipedicellata faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native habitat. Urban development and infrastructure projects further reduce available habitat, while invasive plant species compete for resources in remaining fragments. Climate change poses additional stress through altered precipitation patterns affecting this moisture-dependent species.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic species inhabits tropical dry forests and woodland edges in specific regions of Brazil. It typically grows in well-drained soils along forest margins and in secondary growth areas where it benefits from partial shade and moderate moisture levels.
