Unonopsis renatoi

Declining

Overview

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

Unonopsis renatoi faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and infrastructure development further threaten the integrity of its lowland rainforest habitat.

Threat summary
