Toulicia stans

Declining

Overview

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

Toulicia stans faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agriculture and urban development across its limited range in the Caribbean. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while climate change poses additional threats through altered precipitation patterns affecting its forest ecosystem requirements.

Threat summary

Habitat

Toulicia stans inhabits tropical moist forests and forest edges in the Caribbean region, typically occurring in lowland and montane forest environments. The species requires intact forest canopy and is associated with specific soil and moisture conditions found in undisturbed tropical forest ecosystems.

Why is Toulicia stans classified as Critically Endangered?
Toulicia stans is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Toulicia stans faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agriculture and urban development across its limited range in the Caribbean. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while climate change poses additional threats through altered precipitation patterns affecting its forest ecosystem requirements.
Where does Toulicia stans live?
Toulicia stans occurs in Brazil. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Toulicia stans?
The main threats to Toulicia stans 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.
