Siparuna multiflora
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Siparuna multiflora faces significant pressure from ongoing deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and urban development in the region pose additional threats to the specialized montane forest ecosystems this species requires.
Habitat
Siparuna multiflora is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, where it inhabits montane and submontane rainforests at elevations between 500-1,500 meters. The species typically occurs in the understory of primary and well-preserved secondary forests, favoring areas with high humidity and dense canopy cover.
