Mallota megilliformis

Xylota xanthocnema

Anguloa clowesii

Anguloa clowesii faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development in its native Andean cloud forest ecosystems. The species is also threatened by overcollection for the international orchid trade, as it is highly prized by collectors for its distinctive tulip-like flowers and fragrant blooms.

Elachista chrysodesmella

Decantha borkhausenii

The species faces significant pressure from habitat fragmentation and the loss of its specialized host plants due to agricultural intensification and urban development. Climate change is also altering the timing of its life cycle, creating mismatches with critical food resources and potentially disrupting breeding success.

Lasioglossum aeratum

Lasioglossum aeratum, known as the guldsmalbi, faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized nesting sites. This solitary bee species has extremely limited distribution and is highly vulnerable to environmental changes affecting its host plants and nesting substrate. Climate change and human development pressures continue to fragment and reduce the quality of remaining suitable habitat.

Hyphoraia aulica

The gulfläckig igelkottsspinnare (Hyphoraia aulica) is declining primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation of its specialized grassland and heathland environments. Agricultural intensification, urbanization, and changes in traditional land management practices have significantly reduced the availability of suitable breeding and feeding habitats for this moth species.

Cyrtopogon luteicornis

The gulhornad rovfluga (Cyrtopogon luteicornis) is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized sandy heath and dune environments. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and changes in land management practices have significantly reduced the availability of suitable breeding and foraging habitats.

Physocephala vittata

Physocephala vittata, a thick-headed fly species, faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urbanization of its specialized grassland and meadow habitats. The species' parasitic lifestyle, which depends on specific host bee and wasp species, makes it particularly vulnerable to disruptions in pollinator communities caused by pesticide use and habitat fragmentation.

Gelochelidon nilotica

The Gull-billed Tern faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of coastal wetlands, nesting sites, and feeding areas. Human disturbance at breeding colonies, coastal development, and climate change impacts on sea levels and prey availability are driving this species toward extinction.

Ramaria brunneicontusa

Ramaria brunneicontusa (gullkorallsopp) is critically endangered primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of old-growth forests where this coral fungus species depends on specific mycorrhizal relationships. The species has extremely limited distribution and appears to be highly sensitive to environmental changes, making it vulnerable to extinction from even minor habitat disturbances.

Solitaria chrysophthalma

Solitaria chrysophthalma faces severe population declines due to extensive habitat destruction from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range.
