Anemone uralensis

UnknownENEUENEU

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Anemone uralensis faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in the Ural Mountains region. Mining activities and infrastructure development have fragmented remaining populations, while climate change threatens the specific montane conditions this species requires. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with some populations experiencing direct habitat conversion to farmland.

Threat summary
