Swartzia rediviva
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Swartzia rediviva faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from agricultural expansion and urban development. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional pressures on the remaining forest fragments where this tree species persists.
Habitat
Swartzia rediviva is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, where it occurs in lowland and montane rainforest remnants. The species typically grows in primary forest understory and edge habitats within this highly threatened biodiversity hotspot.
