Stylogyne aguarunana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Stylogyne aguarunana faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Peruvian Amazon. Mining activities and infrastructure development have fragmented its remaining habitat, while climate change threatens to alter the specific microclimatic conditions this endemic species requires. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.
Habitat
This endemic Peruvian species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forest margins in the eastern Andes. It typically occurs in areas with high moisture levels and specific elevation ranges that provide the cool, humid conditions essential for its survival.
