Randia ciliolata

Declining

Overview

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

Randia ciliolata faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Caribbean. Agricultural expansion and urban development have reduced the availability of suitable forest habitats, while the species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Climate change poses an additional risk through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the moist forest conditions this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Randia ciliolata inhabits moist tropical forests and forest edges in the Caribbean region. The species typically occurs in areas with consistent moisture and partial canopy cover, often in secondary growth forests and woodland margins.
