Talisia granulosa

Declining

Overview

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

Talisia granulosa 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 thrives. Urban expansion and cattle ranching have eliminated significant portions of its remaining habitat, leaving only scattered forest fragments that may be too small to support viable populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

Talisia granulosa is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, where it occurs in primary and secondary tropical rainforest. The species typically grows in the forest canopy and requires the humid, stable microclimate conditions found in intact forest ecosystems.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Talisia granulosa classified as Critically Endangered?
Talisia granulosa is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Talisia granulosa 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 thrives. Urban expansion and cattle ranching have eliminated significant portions of its remaining habitat, leaving only scattered forest fragments that may be too small to support viable populations.
