Stenanona panamensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Stenanona panamensis faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Panama's lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development further threaten the integrity of its remaining habitat, while climate change may alter the specific microclimatic conditions this endemic tree requires.
Habitat
Stenanona panamensis is endemic to Panama's lowland tropical rainforests, typically found in primary and mature secondary forests at elevations below 500 meters. The species requires humid, well-drained soils and thrives in the understory and canopy gaps of these biodiverse forest ecosystems.
