Pera membranacea
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pera membranacea faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Mining activities and infrastructure development have fragmented remaining forest patches, while climate change is altering precipitation patterns critical for this moisture-dependent species. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.
Habitat
Pera membranacea inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in well-drained terra firme forests with high canopy cover. The species requires intact forest ecosystems with consistent moisture levels and minimal disturbance.
