Rondeletia paucinervis

Unknown

Overview

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

Rondeletia paucinervis faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion in its restricted montane forest range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, with agricultural expansion and infrastructure development fragmenting its remaining habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and moisture conditions required by this montane specialist.

Threat summary
