Tarenna agumbensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Tarenna agumbensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Philippines. The species' restriction to lowland and montane forest habitats makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and conversion of forest land for palm oil plantations and subsistence farming. Mining activities in the region pose an additional threat through habitat destruction and water pollution.
Habitat
Tarenna agumbensis is endemic to the tropical forests of the Philippines, occurring in both lowland and montane forest ecosystems. The species typically inhabits primary and secondary forest understory environments with high humidity and dense canopy cover.
