Senaea coerulea
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Senaea coerulea faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as montane forests in its limited range are cleared for agriculture and human settlement. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with small population fragments increasingly isolated by forest fragmentation. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures may force this high-altitude specialist to retreat to ever-shrinking suitable habitat zones.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid highland areas, typically found in the understory of primary and secondary forests at elevations between 1,500-2,500 meters. It shows a preference for areas with consistent moisture and dense canopy cover that provide the specific microclimate conditions it requires.
