Aloe springatei-neumannii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Aloe springatei-neumannii faces severe pressure from habitat destruction driven by agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its restricted Ethiopian range. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while collection for traditional medicine and the horticultural trade further reduces wild populations. Climate change poses an additional long-term threat through altered precipitation patterns in its arid habitat.
Habitat
This endemic aloe species inhabits rocky outcrops and steep slopes in the arid highlands of Ethiopia, typically growing on well-drained soils in areas with sparse vegetation. It occurs in semi-desert scrubland and rocky terrain at elevations where it can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and limited rainfall.
