Tachigali denudata

Declining

Overview

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

Tachigali denudata faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching throughout its Atlantic Forest range in Brazil. Logging operations target this species for its valuable timber, while urban development continues to fragment remaining forest patches. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with many populations now isolated in small forest remnants.
