Kinosternon scorpioides

Erebia aethiops

The Scotch Argus faces severe population declines due to habitat fragmentation and loss of its specialized grassland environments. Climate change poses additional pressure by altering the temperature and moisture conditions required for its host plants and larval development. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority, but localized extinctions have been documented across portions of its range.

Rosa spinosissima

Eryngium maritimum

Halimione portulacoides

Sea Purslane faces severe threats from coastal development, sea level rise, and habitat degradation of its specialized salt marsh environments. The species is particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts that alter salinity levels and flood patterns in its narrow coastal habitat range, while urban expansion and infrastructure development continue to fragment and destroy remaining populations.

Juncus maritimus

Cetrelia olivetorum

The specific threats to Sea Storm Lichen have not yet been assessed by scientists, so the main dangers this species faces are currently unknown. Without this threat assessment, researchers cannot determine what factors might be causing population declines or putting the species at risk. It is unclear whether threats to this lichen are increasing, stable, or decreasing since no formal evaluation has been conducted.

Artemisia maritima

Sea Wormwood faces severe threats from coastal development, sea level rise, and habitat destruction of its specialized salt marsh environments. The species' narrow ecological requirements and fragmented populations make it particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts and human encroachment on coastal areas.

Scrobipalpa salicorniae

Polydrusus pulchellus

Rumex maritimus

Seaside Dock is declining primarily due to habitat loss from coastal development, agricultural conversion, and sea-level rise affecting its specialized saltmarsh and mudflat habitats. The species is also threatened by changes in water management and increased disturbance from human activities in coastal areas.

Gelechia hippophaella

Aeshna juncea

Acrocephalus schoenobaenus

Pachira emarginata

Pachira emarginata faces severe population declines due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its native range in Central and South America. The species is particularly vulnerable to agricultural expansion, urban development, and logging activities that fragment and destroy the wetland and riparian forests it depends on for survival.

Metopobactrus prominulus

Sematophyllum demissum

Hebrus pusillus

Morchella semilibera

Leucopternis semiplumbeus

Elachista elegans

Ageneiosus pardalis

Entoloma jubatum

Trichilia trifolia

Serashi faces severe population declines primarily due to widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its native range in tropical America. Agricultural expansion, urban development, and logging activities have significantly reduced available habitat, while remaining populations are increasingly isolated and vulnerable to local extinctions.

Eptesicus serotinus

The Serotine Bat faces significant population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development, which reduces both roosting sites and insect prey availability. Additional pressures include building renovations that destroy roost sites, pesticide use that depletes food sources, and climate change affecting insect populations and hibernation patterns.

Pachyseris rugosa

Celestus agasepsoides

Endocarpon psorodeum

Geastrum fimbriatum

Rhodothamnus sessillifolius

Sessile-leaved Rhodothamnus faces severe threats from habitat loss and fragmentation due to tourism development, infrastructure expansion, and climate change in its restricted alpine range. The species' extremely limited distribution in the Eastern Alps makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances and environmental changes. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority.

Taraxacum obtusilobum

Taraxacum obtusilobum faces severe threats from habitat loss due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its specialized alpine and subalpine environments. Climate change poses an additional critical threat as warming temperatures force this cold-adapted species to retreat to increasingly limited high-elevation refugia. The species' restricted range and small population size make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from human disturbance and environmental changes.

Teinobasis alluaudi

Lamprophis geometricus

Rubus nemorosus

Inonotus hispidus

Seligeria acutifolia

Juncus acutiflorus

Sharp-flowered Rush faces severe threats from wetland habitat destruction and degradation due to agricultural intensification, drainage projects, and urban development. Climate change-induced alterations to hydrological regimes and increased frequency of extreme weather events further compromise the specialized acidic wetland conditions this species requires for survival.

Kickxia elatine

Pholiota squarrosoides

Culicivora caudacuta

Oxyruncus cristatus

Taudactylus acutirostris

The Sharpsnout Torrent Frog faces severe threats from chytrid fungus disease, which has caused widespread amphibian declines across Australia's wet tropics. Additional pressures include habitat degradation from land clearing, water pollution, and climate change impacts on its specialized stream environments.

Hydromantes shastae

Dufourea halictula

Clepsis pallidana

Scandix pecten-veneris

Potamogeton rutilus

Shetland Pondweed faces severe threats from habitat degradation and loss due to water pollution, eutrophication, and human disturbance of its aquatic environments. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change and altered water chemistry further compromise its survival prospects.

Raorchestes shillongensis

The Shillong Bush Frog faces severe threats from rapid habitat destruction due to urbanization and agricultural expansion in the Khasi Hills region of Meghalaya, India. Its extremely limited range and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment. The species' small population size and fragmented distribution further increase its extinction risk.

Lactarius uvidus

The Shiner Milkcap faces severe threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and forest fragmentation, which destroys the specific mycorrhizal relationships essential for its survival. Climate change is altering forest conditions and disrupting the delicate ecological balance required for this fungus to fruit and reproduce. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority, but declining populations reflect the vulnerability of specialized forest fungi to environmental changes.

Neckera pennata

Shingle Moss (Neckera pennata) is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation from deforestation, air pollution, and climate change affecting the specific microclimate conditions it requires. The species is particularly vulnerable because it depends on old-growth forests with stable humidity and temperature conditions that are increasingly rare.
