Campomanesia aromatica

Unknown

Overview

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

Campomanesia aromatica faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching throughout its native range in Brazil's Cerrado savanna. The species is particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation as its populations become increasingly isolated in small forest patches. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce available habitat, while the species' limited dispersal ability hampers natural recolonization of degraded areas.

Threat summary

Habitat
