Rudgea hileiabaiana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Rudgea hileiabaiana faces severe pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation within the Brazilian Amazon. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to agricultural expansion and logging activities that continue to reduce and isolate remaining forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the humid forest conditions this endemic species requires.
Habitat
This endemic Brazilian species inhabits humid lowland rainforests of the Amazon basin, typically found in the understory of primary and well-developed secondary forests. It requires dense canopy cover and the specific microclimate conditions provided by intact Amazonian forest ecosystems.
