Sarcomphalus glaziovii

Declining

Overview

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

Sarcomphalus glaziovii faces severe pressure from urban expansion and agricultural conversion throughout its limited range in southeastern Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native forest environments. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moisture-dependent ecosystems where this species occurs.

Threat summary

Habitat

Sarcomphalus glaziovii inhabits Atlantic Forest remnants and secondary forest areas in southeastern Brazil, typically occurring in humid, well-drained soils of coastal and montane forest ecosystems. The species is associated with forest edges and disturbed areas within its native range, showing some tolerance for modified habitats.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Sarcomphalus glaziovii classified as Endangered?
Sarcomphalus glaziovii is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Sarcomphalus glaziovii faces severe pressure from urban expansion and agricultural conversion throughout its limited range in southeastern Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native forest environments. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moisture-dependent ecosystems where this species occurs.
Where does Sarcomphalus glaziovii live?
Sarcomphalus glaziovii occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Sarcomphalus glaziovii?
The main threats to Sarcomphalus glaziovii are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
