Terminalia januariensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Terminalia januariensis faces severe pressure from urban expansion and agricultural development throughout its limited range in southeastern Brazil. The species' restricted distribution in coastal Atlantic Forest fragments makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and edge effects. Logging and conversion of remaining forest patches for cattle ranching continue to reduce available habitat, while the species' slow growth rate limits its ability to recover from disturbance.
