Declining

Overview

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

Pavonia sancti faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban expansion and agricultural conversion in its extremely limited range. The species' restriction to a single location makes it exceptionally vulnerable to any localized disturbance or environmental change. Invasive plant species competition and potential climate-induced shifts in its specialized habitat requirements further compound the extinction risk.
