Spondias admirabilis

Unknown

Overview

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

Spondias admirabilis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets mature trees that provide essential nesting and foraging sites. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering precipitation patterns critical for fruit production and seedling establishment.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian tree species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically growing in humid lowland and montane forests with well-drained soils. It requires mature forest canopy conditions and is particularly associated with areas receiving consistent rainfall throughout the year.
