Serjania brevipes

Unknown

Overview

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

Serjania brevipes faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented by deforestation and land conversion for cattle ranching and sugarcane cultivation.

Threat summary
