Stenanona flagelliflora

Unknown

Overview

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

Stenanona flagelliflora faces severe threats from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central American lowland forests. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as even small-scale forest clearing can eliminate entire subpopulations. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the humid microclimate conditions essential for this understory species' survival.
