Philonesia filiceti

Unknown

Overview

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

Philonesia filiceti faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its limited montane forest range. Deforestation and agricultural expansion have fragmented the cloud forest ecosystems this species depends upon. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture regimes essential for the humid microhabitats where this species thrives.
