Ecclinusa parviflora

Declining

Overview

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

Ecclinusa parviflora faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in the same forest strata pose additional threats to this canopy-dwelling tree.

Threat summary

Habitat

Ecclinusa parviflora inhabits primary lowland rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically occurring in the upper canopy of terra firme forests. The species is found in areas with high annual rainfall and rich, well-drained soils characteristic of undisturbed Amazonian ecosystems.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Ecclinusa parviflora classified as Endangered?
Ecclinusa parviflora is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Ecclinusa parviflora faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in the same forest strata pose additional threats to this canopy-dwelling tree.
Where does Ecclinusa parviflora live?
Ecclinusa parviflora occurs in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Ecclinusa parviflora?
The main threats to Ecclinusa parviflora are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
