Toussaintia patriciae

Stable

Overview

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

Toussaintia patriciae faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Caribbean. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce available habitat, with remaining populations increasingly isolated in small forest fragments.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits tropical moist forests and forest edges in the Caribbean region, typically found in areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity. It shows preference for undisturbed primary forest but can persist in secondary growth areas with sufficient tree cover.
