Echemus angustifrons

Enterographa hutchinsiae

Enterographa hutchinsiae faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to coastal development and climate change impacts on its specialized rocky shore environments. Air pollution and acid rain are particularly damaging to this lichen species, while sea level rise threatens its narrow coastal habitat range.

Euphrasia dunensis

Euphrasia dunensis is critically endangered due to severe habitat loss and degradation of its specialized coastal dune ecosystems. The species faces ongoing threats from coastal development, recreational pressure, and changes in natural dune dynamics that have dramatically reduced suitable habitat across its limited range.

Chrysolina carnifex

Chrysolina carnifex, the Klitguldbille, is critically endangered primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized coastal dune and grassland environments. The species has experienced severe population declines as coastal development and agricultural intensification have destroyed much of its remaining habitat in Denmark and surrounding regions.

Paragus finitimus

Paragus finitimus, the Klithede-maskesvirreflue, faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development in its limited range.
