Unonopsis riedeliana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Unonopsis riedeliana 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. Logging activities targeting valuable timber species in its lowland rainforest habitat continue to reduce available breeding and foraging areas.
Habitat
This species inhabits primary lowland rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically found in areas with high canopy cover and rich, well-drained soils. It occurs in both terra firme forests and occasionally in transitional zones near riverine systems.
