Qualea labouriauana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Qualea labouriauana faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soy cultivation, continues to reduce available forest habitat. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species also degrade the forest structure this species depends upon for survival.
Habitat
This tree species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in terra firme forests on well-drained soils. It occurs in primary forest environments and requires intact canopy structure for optimal growth and reproduction.
