Duguetia bahiensis

Declining

Overview

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

Duguetia bahiensis faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation throughout its restricted range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and crop cultivation, continues to reduce and isolate remaining forest patches where this endemic tree species occurs. Urban development and infrastructure projects further compound habitat loss, while the species' limited dispersal ability makes recolonization of cleared areas extremely difficult.
