Schinus ramboi

Declining

Overview

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

Schinus ramboi faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its limited range in southern Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while cattle grazing and conversion of native grasslands to cropland continue to reduce available habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the species' specialized ecological requirements.

Threat summary

Habitat
