Psidium grazielae

Declining

Overview

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

Psidium grazielae faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native Cerrado habitat. Urban development and infrastructure projects further reduce available habitat, while the species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Fire regimes altered by human activities pose additional risks to remaining populations.
