Pseudoeugenia tenuifolia

Unknown

Overview

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

Pseudoeugenia tenuifolia faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Urban development and cattle ranching continue to reduce the quality and connectivity of its montane forest habitat.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian species inhabits montane Atlantic Forest remnants, typically found in humid forest understories at elevations between 800-1,200 meters. It requires intact forest canopy and appears to be sensitive to edge effects and habitat disturbance.
