Ticorea froesii

Declining

Overview

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

Ticorea froesii faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Amazon Basin. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and soy cultivation, continues to reduce available forest habitat. The species' apparent dependence on intact forest understory makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations that alter forest structure even when canopy cover remains.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits the understory of lowland tropical rainforests in the Amazon Basin, typically found in areas with dense canopy cover and rich leaf litter. It appears to prefer primary forest habitats with minimal human disturbance.
