Evaluation of IUCN:
Critically Endangered.
Eugenia harkerae
is considered endemic to
Mexico
and restricted to the state of Jalisco, in the “Sierra Occidental” region, municipality of San Sebastian del Oeste. The species occurs in the Humid Montane Forest, between 1,400 to 1,850 m elev. The estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) fall within the thresholds of Critically Endangered category under the criterion B. There is only one location for this species, as it is known only from the
type
collection. A continuing decline of habitat quality is inferred as its habitat is slowly deteriorating due to the impact of new roads, growing urban settlements and extensive tourism (Reynoso Dueñas
et al
. 2007), besides being in the polygon of the Protection Area “CADNR 043”, in
Jalisco
(
DOF 1949
). For this reason,
Eugenia harkerae
is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) criterion.
