Weinmannia ulei

Unknown

Overview

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

Weinmannia ulei faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and crop cultivation, continues to reduce the remaining forest patches where this endemic tree species occurs. Urban development and infrastructure projects further fragment the already restricted montane forest habitats essential for the species' survival.
