Vochysia talmonii

Declining

Overview

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

Vochysia talmonii faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation in its restricted range within the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its extremely limited distribution and small population size, making it highly susceptible to local extinctions from logging activities and agricultural expansion. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to reduce the remaining forest patches where this tree species occurs.
