Pyrola minor

Snowline Wintergreen faces severe threats from climate change as warming temperatures force this cold-adapted species to retreat to increasingly limited high-elevation refugia. Habitat fragmentation and degradation from human activities, combined with the species' specialized ecological requirements and slow reproductive rate, have contributed to dramatic population declines across its range.

Stachyris oglei

Entoloma pseudoparasiticum

Lecidea degeliana

Tricholoma saponaceum

Terminalia pellucida

Psathyrella suavissima

Sphagnum tenellum

Soft Bog-moss faces severe threats from habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized bog ecosystems through drainage, peat extraction, and agricultural conversion. Climate change poses additional risks by altering the hydrological conditions essential for bog maintenance, while pollution from agricultural runoff and atmospheric nitrogen deposition further degrades these sensitive wetland environments.

Akodon mollis

Callinectes sapidus

Graptodytes granularis

Graptodytes granularis faces severe threats from habitat degradation and loss of pristine aquatic environments across its limited range. Water pollution, eutrophication, and destruction of wetland habitats have significantly reduced suitable breeding and foraging areas for this specialized diving beetle.

Taraxacum dissimile

Solmaskros faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature shifts that affect its specialized ecological requirements. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats and population fragmentation.

Pitta anerythra

Bembidion litorale

Bembidion litorale faces severe threats from coastal habitat destruction and climate change impacts on its specialized shoreline environments. Rising sea levels and increased storm intensity threaten the narrow band of suitable coastal habitats this species depends on, while human development and pollution further degrade remaining sites.

Todiramphus funebris

Phylloscopus amoenus

Barilius dimorphicus

Zegris eupheme

Gnaphosa lucifuga

Gnaphosa lucifuga faces severe population declines due to habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized cave and underground environments. Human activities including cave disturbance, mining operations, and groundwater pollution have significantly reduced available habitat, while the species' limited dispersal ability makes population recovery extremely difficult.

Melanomphalia nigrescens

Nemapogon falstriella

Ramalina baltica

Sørlandsragg faces severe threats from air pollution, particularly nitrogen deposition and sulfur compounds, which dramatically alter the chemistry of its substrate and surrounding environment. Climate change is causing shifts in precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that affect the delicate moisture balance this lichen requires, while coastal development and infrastructure projects continue to destroy its specialized rocky habitats along the Norwegian coastline.

Chalcosyrphus valgus

Anisodactylus signatus

Anisodactylus signatus faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized coastal and wetland environments. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and changes in water management practices have significantly reduced the availability of suitable breeding and foraging sites. Climate change and sea level rise pose additional threats to remaining coastal populations.

Inocybe melanopoda

Acritus homoeopathicus

The sotstumpbagge faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. Climate change is altering the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires, while invasive species compete for resources and disrupt established ecological relationships.

Podocnemis expansa

The South American River Turtle faces severe population declines due to intensive exploitation for eggs and meat, which has devastated nesting populations across its range. Habitat destruction from dam construction, mining, and deforestation along river systems has further fragmented populations and degraded critical nesting beaches. Climate change and altered river flows compound these pressures by affecting nesting success and food availability.

Scolomys melanops

Pyrgulopsis giulianii

Ophioglossum vulgatum

Geronticus calvus

Polygonia egea

The Southern Comma butterfly faces significant population declines primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation from agricultural expansion and urban development across its range. Climate change is altering the distribution and phenology of its host plants, while increased frequency of extreme weather events disrupts breeding cycles and reduces survival rates.

Trachyboa gularis

The Southern Eyelash Boa faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in South American cloud forests and montane regions. Its extremely restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make populations highly vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment. The species' slow reproductive rate and small population size further compound its risk of extinction.

Amazona festiva

Bathygobius lineatus

Duttaphrynus microtympanum

The Southern Hill Toad faces significant population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural expansion and urbanization in its limited range in the Western Ghats of India. Additional pressures from climate change and potential disease outbreaks further threaten this endemic species with its restricted distribution.

Cobitis paludica

Cabassous unicinctus

Netta erythrophthalma

Podiceps occipitalis

Pieris mannii

Papilio alexanor

Arthroleptides yakusini

Limenitis reducta

The Southern White Admiral faces severe population declines across its European range due to widespread habitat loss and fragmentation of woodland ecosystems. Climate change is altering the distribution and phenology of its host plants, while intensive forest management practices have reduced the availability of suitable breeding habitats with the specific microclimate conditions this species requires.

Penaeus schmitti

Stegastes beebei

Arvicola sapidus

Trichonotulus scrofa

Algyroides marchi

Aricia morronensis
