Bonamia rosiewiseae

Declining

Overview

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

Bonamia rosiewiseae faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Western Australia. The species is particularly vulnerable to mining activities and infrastructure development that fragment its specialized habitat requirements. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the plant communities this species depends upon.

Threat summary
