Talisia bullata

Unknown

Overview

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

Talisia bullata faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and agricultural conversion throughout its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets the mature forest canopy where this tree species typically establishes. Urban expansion and cattle ranching have eliminated significant portions of its remaining habitat, leaving only small, isolated forest fragments.

Threat summary

Habitat

Talisia bullata inhabits the understory and canopy of primary Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) in southeastern Brazil, typically occurring in humid lowland and montane forests.
