Terminalia pabstii

Unknown

Overview

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

Terminalia pabstii faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching throughout its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to encroach on the species' remaining forest fragments, while selective logging targets mature specimens for their valuable timber.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Brazilian tree species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically growing in well-drained soils of lowland and submontane forests. It occurs in both primary forest remnants and secondary growth areas within its restricted range in southeastern Brazil.
