Zulialana coalescens

Unknown

Overview

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

Zulialana coalescens faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted Venezuelan range, particularly from agricultural expansion and urban development in the coastal mountain regions. The species' limited distribution makes it especially vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while collection pressure for the ornamental trade has historically impacted wild populations.

Threat summary

Habitat
