Tachigali pimichinensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Tachigali pimichinensis faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in the Guiana Shield region. Mining activities, particularly gold mining operations, pose a direct threat to its limited forest habitat. Agricultural expansion and infrastructure development further fragment the remaining populations of this endemic tree species.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Guiana Shield, typically found in primary forest environments with well-drained soils. It occurs in areas with high rainfall and stable forest canopy conditions characteristic of the northern South American region.
