Stenanona monticola

Unknown

Overview

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

Stenanona monticola faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation in its restricted montane range. Agricultural expansion and logging activities have significantly reduced the cloud forest ecosystems this species depends upon. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with remaining populations isolated in small forest fragments that may not be viable long-term.

Threat summary

Habitat

Stenanona monticola is endemic to cloud forests and montane rainforests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. The species requires the humid, mist-shrouded conditions typical of tropical montane ecosystems with dense canopy cover and high epiphyte diversity.
