Zerynthia rumina

The Spanish Festoon faces severe population declines across its Mediterranean range due to habitat destruction from urban development, agricultural intensification, and infrastructure projects that fragment its specialized breeding areas. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency, while the species' dependence on specific host plants makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes.

Lytta vesicatoria

The Spanish Fly faces critical threats from widespread habitat loss due to deforestation and agricultural conversion of deciduous woodlands. The decline of ground-nesting bee populations, which serve as hosts for the beetle's parasitoid larvae, further threatens species survival. Climate change may disrupt the specialized feeding relationship between adults and ash trees.

Sibinia pyrrhodactyla

Encalypta spathulata

Spathulate Candle Snuffer Moss faces severe threats from habitat degradation and climate change impacts on its specialized microhabitat requirements. The species' extremely limited distribution and specific ecological needs make it highly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbances in its rocky, calcareous substrates.

Calyciphora albodactylus

Hohenbuehelia auriscalpium

Rheumaptera hastata

Zostera capensis

Fagivorina arenaria

Hieracium daniciforme

Hieracium daniciforme faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development across its limited range. The species' specialized ecological requirements and small, fragmented populations make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and local extinctions.

Hathrometra tenella

Hieracium hemidiaphanum

Hypoglossum hypoglossoides

Acrothrix gracilis

Philoria sphagnicolus

Exomias araneiformis

Parvulago marina

Veronica spicata

Sphagnum squarrosum

Hydnophora bonsai

Sphecodes spinulosus

The Spined Blood Bee faces severe threats from habitat loss and degradation, particularly the destruction of sandy soil environments essential for both the species and its host bees. Agricultural intensification and urban development have eliminated many suitable nesting sites, while the decline of host bee populations directly impacts this parasitic species.

Turdoides nipalensis

Habitat loss from urbanisation of the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding mid-hill towns, clearance of scrubland for terrace agriculture, and overgrazing by livestock are reducing available habitat. Road construction through mid-hill areas fragments remaining populations. Threats are stable but persistent.

Nymphalis antiopa

The Spiny Elm Caterpillar faces severe population declines primarily due to widespread habitat loss from urbanization and agricultural expansion, which has eliminated many of its essential host tree populations. Climate change is altering the timing of seasonal cycles critical for reproduction and overwintering survival, while pesticide use in both agricultural and urban environments directly impacts larval development and adult survival.

Mussa angulosa

Ononis spinosa

Xenornis setifrons

Ruppia cirrhosa

Cladonia cariosa

Hieracium amoenifrons

Hieracium amoenifrons faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited alpine range. Climate change poses an additional critical threat as warming temperatures force this cold-adapted species to retreat to increasingly restricted high-elevation refugia with nowhere left to migrate.

Muscisaxicola maculirostris

Touit stictopterus

Anadia marmorata

Utricularia purpurea

Spotted Bladderwort faces severe threats from habitat degradation and loss of suitable aquatic environments. Pollution, eutrophication, and drainage of wetlands for development have significantly reduced available habitat, while climate change alters water chemistry and temperature regimes essential for this specialized carnivorous plant.

Psathyrella maculata

Porzana porzana

Sympetrum depressiusculum

Aquila clanga

Melitaea didyma

The Spotted Fritillary faces severe population declines across its range due to widespread habitat loss and degradation of traditional grassland ecosystems. Agricultural intensification, urbanization, and changes in land management practices have eliminated much of the species' preferred habitat, while climate change is altering the distribution and phenology of both the butterfly and its host plants.

Lactarius scrobiculatus

The Spotted Milkcap faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat loss from deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development across its range. Climate change is altering the delicate mycorrhizal relationships this species depends on, while pollution and soil contamination further degrade its forest ecosystems. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority.

Acontia trabealis

The Spotted Sulphur faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its range. Climate change is altering the distribution and abundance of its host plants, while pesticide use in agricultural areas directly impacts both adult moths and their larval food sources.

Plagiochila punctata

Spotty Featherwort faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development across its limited range. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature shifts that affect the moist conditions essential for this bryophyte's survival. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes.

Cephaloziella divaricata

Diplomitoporus crustulinus

Trypocopris vernalis

Elimia pybasii

Warnstorfia pseudostraminea

Pulsatilla vernalis

Coregonus trybomi

Spring spawning cisco faces severe threats from habitat degradation, water pollution, and climate change impacts on cold-water lake ecosystems. The species' specialized spawning requirements and narrow thermal tolerance make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human activities affecting water quality in its limited range.

Vicia lathyroides

Carex caryophyllea
