Terminalia igaratensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Terminalia igaratensis faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion within its limited range in the Brazilian Amazon. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets mature trees of the Combretaceae family for timber extraction. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the species' reproductive cycles and seedling establishment.
