Dactyloscopus lacteus

Podarcis milensis

Phylloscartes roquettei

Ducula mindorensis

Pytho abieticola

Pytho abieticola faces severe population declines due to intensive forest management practices that remove the dead and dying coniferous trees essential for its survival. Climate change and forest fragmentation further threaten this species by reducing the availability of suitable breeding substrates and disrupting the natural forest dynamics it depends upon.

Monochroa rumicetella

Cochylidia moguntiana

Grypus brunnirostris

Ophiura robusta

Cionus nigritarsis

Mindre kungsljusvivel faces severe threats from habitat loss due to agricultural intensification and urbanization, which destroys the specific plant communities it depends on for breeding and feeding. The species' highly specialized relationship with its host plants makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and habitat fragmentation.

Myolepta dubia

Tipula zonaria

Brachyopa obscura

Minervarya sahyadris

Phoxinus phoxinus

The European minnow faces severe population declines across its range due to habitat degradation and water quality deterioration in freshwater systems. Pollution from agricultural runoff, urban development, and climate-induced changes to stream temperatures and flow patterns have significantly reduced suitable habitat availability. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority, but multiple threats continue to impact remaining populations.

Longitarsus ferrugineus

The Mint Flea Beetle faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development that destroys its specialized mint-rich environments. Pesticide use in agricultural areas and climate change impacts on its host plants further threaten remaining populations, while its narrow ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes.

Sabulina viscosa

Minuartie visqueuse faces severe threats from habitat destruction and fragmentation of its specialized coastal environments. The species' extremely limited distribution and small population size make it highly vulnerable to environmental changes and human activities along Mediterranean coastlines.

Russula minutula

Atheloderma mirabile

Arrhenia philonotis

Candelariella reflexa

Cliostomum leprosum

Bacidina delicata

Scytinium tetrasporum

Scytinium tetrasporum faces severe threats from air pollution, particularly nitrogen deposition and sulfur compounds that alter the chemical composition of its substrate and disrupt its symbiotic relationships. Habitat loss due to urbanization and industrial development has eliminated many suitable sites, while climate change is altering moisture regimes critical for this lichen's survival.

Heliophanus auratus

Lejogaster tarsata

Hybos femoratus

Robertus arundineti

Hieracium placibile

Hieracium placibile faces severe threats from habitat loss due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' highly specialized habitat requirements and small population size make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance.

Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa

Ctenidium molluscum

Orchis simia

The Monkey Orchid faces severe population declines across its range due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development, which has eliminated many of the calcareous grasslands and woodland edges it requires. Overcollection by orchid enthusiasts and changes in traditional land management practices that maintained suitable habitat conditions have further accelerated its decline to critically endangered status.

Circus pygargus

Harpyhaliaetus solitarius

Scomberomorus concolor

Rana arvalis

Hohenbuehelia longipes

Pholiota henningsii

Psathyrella sphagnicola

Colias palaeno

The Moorland Clouded Yellow faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification, peat bog drainage, and climate change impacts on its specialized moorland ecosystems. Rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns are shifting suitable habitat ranges northward and to higher elevations, while remaining populations become increasingly fragmented and isolated.

Gracillaria loriolella

Chaenothecopsis montana

Scutula effusa

Mörk lundlav faces severe threats from air pollution, particularly nitrogen deposition and sulfur compounds, which alter the chemical composition of its substrate and disrupt its growth. Habitat loss through deforestation and urbanization has eliminated many suitable old-growth forest sites, while climate change is shifting temperature and humidity patterns beyond the species' tolerance range.

Clitopilus paxilloides

Choragus horni

The mörk nästingbagge (Choragus horni) faces severe population declines due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized fungal microhabitats. This small weevil's dependence on specific fungal associations in decaying wood makes it extremely vulnerable to forest management practices and climate-induced changes in fungal communities.

Amphimallon fallenii

Arthonia incarnata

Phytosus spinifer

Hieracium penduliforme

Ephebe hispidula

Mørk uldlav (Ephebe hispidula) faces severe threats from air pollution and acid rain, which directly damage its sensitive thallus structure and disrupt its photosynthetic processes. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering precipitation patterns and increasing temperature extremes that exceed the species' narrow tolerance range. Habitat loss through deforestation and urban development further reduces available substrate for this specialized lichen.
