Trichilia carinata

Unknown

Overview

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

Trichilia carinata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Central and South America. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in the same ecosystems pose an additional threat to this endemic tree species.

Threat summary

Habitat

Trichilia carinata inhabits tropical moist forests and cloud forests at elevations between 500-2000 meters. The species typically occurs in primary and secondary forest formations with high humidity and consistent rainfall patterns.

Trichilia carinata is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Trichilia carinata faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Central and South America. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in the same ecosystems pose an additional threat to this endemic tree species.
