Syndyas nigripes

Unknown

Overview

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

Syndyas nigripes faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted montane forest range. Deforestation and agricultural expansion have fragmented the cloud forest ecosystems this species depends on, while climate change threatens to shift suitable habitat zones upslope beyond the species' adaptive capacity. Collection pressure for the pet trade has also impacted local populations in accessible areas.

Threat summary

Habitat

Syndyas nigripes inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters. The species requires dense canopy cover and high humidity levels typical of these specialized high-altitude ecosystems.
