Tabebuia anafensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Tabebuia anafensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest region. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to fragment remaining forest patches, while selective logging targets mature specimens for their valuable timber. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering precipitation patterns essential for the species' reproductive cycles.
Habitat
This species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments and secondary forest areas, typically growing in well-drained soils at elevations between 200-800 meters. It occurs in both primary forest understory and forest edges, showing some tolerance for disturbed habitats.
