Weinmannia parvifoliolata

Declining

Overview

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

Weinmannia parvifoliolata faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in its native cloud forest ecosystems. Agricultural expansion and urban development have fragmented its remaining populations, while climate change threatens to shift the altitudinal zones where this endemic species can survive. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances and environmental changes.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic tree species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters. It typically grows in areas with persistent cloud cover and high humidity, often found along ridges and slopes in primary and secondary forest formations.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Weinmannia parvifoliolata classified as Endangered?
Weinmannia parvifoliolata is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Weinmannia parvifoliolata faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion in its native cloud forest ecosystems. Agricultural expansion and urban development have fragmented its remaining populations, while climate change threatens to shift the altitudinal zones where this endemic species can survive. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances and environmental changes.
Where does Weinmannia parvifoliolata live?
Weinmannia parvifoliolata occurs in Colombia. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Weinmannia parvifoliolata?
The main threats to Weinmannia parvifoliolata are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
