Groenlandia densa

Leccinum versipelle

Ramariopsis crocea

Hydnellum aurantiacum

Chrysoclista lathamella

Falco deiroleucus

Capito squamatus

Cerothallia luteoalba

Orange-fruited Elm-lichen faces severe threats from air pollution and habitat degradation, which compromise the specific atmospheric conditions required for this sensitive epiphytic species. Urban expansion and industrial emissions have significantly reduced suitable habitat, while climate change alters precipitation patterns and temperature regimes critical for lichen survival.

Omocestus haemorrhoidalis

Trinchesia foliata

Sarcodontia setosa

The Orchard Toothcrust faces severe threats from habitat loss due to the decline of traditional orchards and old-growth forests containing its essential host trees. Climate change and intensive agricultural practices have dramatically reduced suitable substrates, while pollution and pesticide use in modern farming further compromise the fungal communities this species depends on for survival.

Vanda tricolor

Orchis spitzelii

Batrachoseps wrighti

Espeletia grandiflora

Ramboldia subcinnabarina

Cerastium subtetrandrum

Hyponephele lupinus

The Oriental Meadow Brown faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development across its range. Climate change is altering the grassland ecosystems this species depends on, while overgrazing by livestock degrades the quality of remaining meadow habitats essential for breeding and larval development.

Anastrepta orcadensis

Scotopteryx coarctaria

Orthotrichum rogeri

Emberiza hortulana

The Ortolan Bunting faces severe population declines across its range due to intensive agricultural practices that have eliminated traditional farming landscapes and reduced insect prey availability. Illegal hunting and trapping for culinary purposes, particularly in Mediterranean countries, continues to impact populations despite legal protections. Climate change is altering breeding and wintering habitats, while habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations.

Hieracium prolatescens

Acarospora impressula

Ptilium crista-castrensis

Ostrich-plume Moss faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, logging, and land conversion in its specialized boreal and montane forest ecosystems. Climate change poses an additional critical threat by altering temperature and moisture regimes essential for this species' survival, while air pollution and acid deposition further degrade the delicate conditions required for moss growth and reproduction.

Psittirostra psittacea

The Ou faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and agricultural conversion of native Hawaiian forests. Introduced diseases, particularly avian malaria and pox transmitted by non-native mosquitoes, have devastated populations, while competition from invasive bird species and habitat degradation from feral ungulates further threaten this endemic Hawaiian honeycreeper.

Pterygoneurum ovatum

Tetrodontium ovatum

Pellia epiphylla

Aspidostemon trianthera

Aspidostemon trianthera faces severe population declines due to extensive habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' highly specialized habitat requirements and small, fragmented populations make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance.

Strigops habroptila

The Owl Parrot faces severe threats from introduced mammalian predators, particularly stoats, cats, and rats, which prey on eggs, chicks, and adults of this flightless species. Habitat destruction from deforestation and human development has drastically reduced available nesting and foraging areas. The species' extremely slow reproductive rate, with females breeding only every 2-4 years when rimu fruit is abundant, makes population recovery exceptionally difficult.

Hydroporus rufifrons

The Oxbow Diving Beetle faces severe threats from habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized aquatic environments. Pollution from agricultural runoff and urban development, combined with climate change impacts on water levels and quality, have drastically reduced suitable habitat availability. The species' restricted range and specific habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to these ongoing pressures.
