Sphagnum warnstorfii

Warnstorf's Sphagnum faces severe threats from habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized wetland environments. Climate change and altered hydrology from human activities are disrupting the delicate water balance required for this moss species to survive, while pollution and eutrophication further compromise its remaining habitats.

Sclerocrangon ferox

Pyrenula nitida

Decticus verrucivorus

The Wart-biter cricket faces severe population declines across its range due to widespread habitat loss and fragmentation of its specialized grassland ecosystems. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and the abandonment of traditional low-intensity grazing practices have eliminated much of the species' required habitat. Climate change and altered fire regimes further threaten remaining populations in this already restricted range.

Pedostibes tuberculosus

Fischerula macrospora

Cerocephala rufa

Xylomya maculata

Pediasia contaminella

Scapania undulata

Spilosoma urticae

Scrophularia umbrosa

Water figwort faces severe threats from habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized wetland environments. Urban development, agricultural expansion, and water management practices have significantly reduced suitable habitat, while pollution and invasive species further compromise remaining populations.

Teucrium scordium

Water Germander faces severe population declines due to widespread wetland destruction and drainage for agricultural conversion and urban development. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it extremely vulnerable to hydrological changes, water pollution from agricultural runoff, and habitat fragmentation that isolates remaining populations.

Lobelia dortmanna

Water Lobelia faces severe threats from habitat degradation due to eutrophication and acidification of its specialized aquatic environments. The species' extremely narrow ecological requirements make it highly vulnerable to water quality changes, while climate change and human activities continue to degrade the pristine lake conditions it depends upon for survival.

Lythrum portula

Salvinia minima

Water spangles faces severe threats from habitat degradation, water pollution, and competition from invasive aquatic species that can rapidly colonize and dominate freshwater ecosystems. Climate change and altered hydrological patterns further threaten the delicate balance of shallow water environments this species depends on. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority, but populations continue to decline due to human impacts on freshwater systems.

Veronica anagallis-aquatica

Water Speedwell faces significant decline due to habitat loss from wetland drainage, agricultural intensification, and water pollution. Urban development and changes in water management practices have severely reduced suitable aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats across its range.

Sphagnum inundatum

Argyroneta aquatica

Drosera intermedia

Water Sundew faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to wetland drainage, peat bog extraction, and agricultural conversion of its specialized carnivorous plant habitats. Climate change and altered hydrology further threaten the precise water level conditions this species requires, while pollution from agricultural runoff and development degrades the nutrient-poor environments essential for its survival.

Butomus umbellatus

Water-gladiolus faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to wetland drainage, water pollution, and agricultural conversion of its native freshwater environments. Climate change and altered hydrological regimes further threaten remaining populations, while invasive species competition reduces available habitat niches.

Chorthippus montanus

Stratiotes aloides

Water-soldier faces severe population declines across its range due to habitat destruction and degradation of freshwater ecosystems. Eutrophication from agricultural runoff and urban pollution has dramatically altered water chemistry in many of its native habitats, while drainage of wetlands for development has eliminated critical breeding and feeding areas.

Subularia aquatica

Waterawlwort faces severe threats from habitat degradation and loss of its specialized aquatic environments. Climate change and human activities are reducing the availability of suitable shallow water habitats, while water pollution and eutrophication degrade remaining populations.

Anomoloma myceliosum

Aburria aburri

Najas flexilis

Wavy Waternymph faces severe threats from habitat degradation due to water pollution, eutrophication, and sedimentation that degrade the clear, nutrient-poor waters it requires. Urban development, agricultural runoff, and invasive species competition have led to dramatic population declines across much of its range. The species' sensitivity to water quality changes makes it particularly vulnerable to ongoing environmental pressures.

Cortinarius cumatilis

Dicranum polysetum

Geastrum corollinum

Misgurnus fossilis

The Weatherfish faces severe population declines across its range due to widespread habitat destruction and degradation of freshwater ecosystems. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and water pollution have dramatically reduced suitable breeding and feeding habitats, while climate change and altered hydrological regimes further threaten remaining populations.

Limnogale mergulus

Leptoscyphus cuneifolius

Wedge Flapwort faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development across its limited range. The species' specialized habitat requirements and small population size make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance. Climate change poses additional risks by altering the moisture and temperature conditions essential for this bryophyte's survival.

Dacryobolus sudans

Based on the available information, the primary threats to Weeping Toothcrust have not yet been formally assessed or documented by scientists. This means researchers have not systematically studied what dangers this fungus species might be facing in the wild. Without a proper threat assessment, it's unclear whether the risks to this species are getting worse, staying the same, or improving over time.

Otiorhynchus rugifrons

Tropiphorus obtusus

Bryum weigelii

Weigel's Bryum Moss faces severe threats from habitat degradation and loss of its specialized microhabitats. Climate change and human disturbance to its limited range pose significant risks to the remaining populations of this critically endangered bryophyte.

Gastrotheca weinlandii

Weinland's Marsupial Frog faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development throughout its limited range in the Caribbean. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature increases that affect breeding success and suitable habitat availability. The species' restricted distribution and specialized reproductive requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes.

Orthotrichum scanicum

Entoloma undulatosporum

Hoplia philanthus

Allium fistulosum

Ptychoglossus bicolor

Volucella inanis

Rhexia cubensis

West Indian meadowbeauty faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development, agriculture, and coastal infrastructure projects throughout its limited range in the Caribbean. The species' restricted distribution to specific wetland habitats makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment. Climate change and sea level rise pose additional risks to its coastal and low-lying wetland ecosystems.

Mammillaria prolifera

The West Indian Nipple-cactus faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to coastal development, tourism infrastructure, and urban expansion across its limited Caribbean range. Climate change poses additional risks through sea level rise and increased hurricane intensity, while invasive plant species compete for the specialized rocky coastal habitats this cactus requires.
