Trichilia solitudinis

Unknown

Overview

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

Trichilia solitudinis faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Central American cloud forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and coffee cultivation, has reduced suitable habitat patches to isolated fragments. The species' restricted elevational range makes it particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts, as warming temperatures force suitable conditions upslope into increasingly smaller areas.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It typically occurs in primary and secondary forest understory environments with high humidity and consistent moisture levels.
