Sureya's Glandular Bush-Cricket

Bradyporus sureyai

Declining

Overview

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

Bradyporus sureyai faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its montane habitat range. The species' limited distribution across fragmented highland areas makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat degradation from intensive farming practices. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures may force this cold-adapted species to retreat to increasingly restricted high-altitude refugia.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits montane grasslands and alpine meadows at high elevations, typically found in areas with sparse vegetation and rocky substrates. It occupies fragmented highland habitats where cool temperatures and specific microclimate conditions are essential for its survival.
