Prockiopsis razakamalalae

Declining

Overview

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

Prockiopsis razakamalalae faces severe threats from ongoing deforestation and habitat degradation in Madagascar's remaining forest fragments. The species' extremely limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while agricultural expansion and charcoal production continue to reduce available habitat. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the microhabitat conditions this endemic species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits the remaining fragments of Madagascar's eastern rainforests, typically found in humid forest understory environments. It requires specific microhabitat conditions within these forest ecosystems, making it highly sensitive to habitat disturbance and fragmentation.
