Sebastiania huallagensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Sebastiania huallagensis faces primary threats from deforestation and agricultural expansion in Peru's Huallaga Valley region. The species' limited geographic range makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation from coca cultivation and cattle ranching. Mining activities and infrastructure development further reduce available habitat, while the species' specialized ecological requirements limit its ability to adapt to disturbed environments.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests in the Huallaga Valley of central Peru. It typically occurs at elevations between 800-2000 meters in areas with high humidity and consistent moisture levels.
