Atlantica anagaensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Atlantica anagaensis faces severe pressure from urban development and infrastructure expansion across its limited range in the Canary Islands. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while introduced plant species compete for resources in its native scrubland environment. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the delicate moisture balance required for this endemic species' survival.
Habitat
This endemic species inhabits the dry scrublands and rocky slopes of the Canary Islands, typically found in areas with sparse vegetation and well-drained volcanic soils. It shows preference for coastal and semi-arid environments between sea level and mid-elevation zones.
