Tachigali pilgeriana

Unknown

Overview

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

Tachigali pilgeriana faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining populations become increasingly isolated. Logging activities targeting valuable timber species in the same forest ecosystems pose an additional threat to this endemic tree species.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary forest areas with well-drained soils. It occurs in the understory and canopy layers of mature forest ecosystems, often associated with high biodiversity areas.
