Unknown

Overview

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

Tarenna drummondii faces significant pressure from habitat degradation and fragmentation across its limited range in tropical Africa. The species is particularly vulnerable to agricultural expansion and logging activities that reduce the quality of its forest habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering rainfall patterns and temperature regimes that affect the moist forest conditions this species requires.

Threat summary
