Ruprechtia latifunda
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ruprechtia latifunda faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest region. Deforestation for sugarcane cultivation and pastureland has fragmented remaining populations, while urban development continues to encroach on suitable habitat. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.
Habitat
This species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments and secondary forest areas in southeastern Brazil. It typically occurs in humid lowland and montane forests, often along forest edges and in disturbed areas where some canopy cover remains.
