Randia carlosiana

Unknown

Overview

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

Randia carlosiana faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central America. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce available habitat, while climate change may alter the specific environmental conditions this endemic species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Randia carlosiana inhabits tropical moist forests and cloud forest margins at elevations between 800-1,500 meters. The species typically occurs in undisturbed primary forest understory and forest edges with dense canopy cover.
