Unonopsis renatoi
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.
Habitat
Unonopsis renatoi inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in primary forest understory environments. The species occurs in areas with high humidity and dense canopy cover, often associated with well-drained soils in terra firme forest formations.
