CRCritically Endangered
Bensonella serpa
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Bensonella serpa faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities. Mining operations and infrastructure development pose additional pressures on the remaining suitable habitat patches.
Habitat
This species inhabits specialized microhabitats within limestone karst formations and rocky outcrops. It requires specific moisture and temperature conditions found in crevices and cave entrances of its native range.
