Weinmannia tremuloides

Stable

Overview

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

Weinmannia tremuloides faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited montane forest range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while climate change threatens to shift suitable temperature and moisture conditions beyond its current elevational range. Mining activities and infrastructure development further compound habitat loss pressures in the Andean regions where this endemic tree occurs.

Threat summary

Habitat

Weinmannia tremuloides inhabits montane cloud forests and humid upper montane forests, typically occurring at elevations between 2,000-3,500 meters in the Andes. The species requires consistent moisture and cool temperatures characteristic of these high-altitude forest ecosystems.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Weinmannia tremuloides classified as Endangered?
Weinmannia tremuloides 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 tremuloides faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited montane forest range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while climate change threatens to shift suitable temperature and moisture conditions beyond its current elevational range. Mining activities and infrastructure development further compound habitat loss pressures in the Andean regions where this endemic tree occurs.
Where does Weinmannia tremuloides live?
Weinmannia tremuloides occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Weinmannia tremuloides?
The main threats to Weinmannia tremuloides 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.
