Qualea hannekesaskiarum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Qualea hannekesaskiarum faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Mining activities and infrastructure development have fragmented remaining forest patches, while climate change threatens to alter the specific moisture and temperature conditions this species requires. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in areas with well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels. It occurs in both primary and mature secondary forests, showing preference for areas with dense canopy cover.
