Pradosia lahoziana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pradosia lahoziana faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented across increasingly isolated forest patches. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further reduced available habitat, while the species' slow growth rate as a tropical tree limits its ability to recover from disturbances.
Habitat
Pradosia lahoziana is endemic to tropical rainforests of South America, typically found in lowland and montane forest ecosystems with high humidity and consistent rainfall. The species occurs in primary forest habitats and requires well-drained soils in areas with minimal human disturbance.
