Campanula bravensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Campanula bravensis faces severe threats from habitat degradation on the volcanic island of Brava in Cape Verde. The species' extremely limited range makes it vulnerable to infrastructure development, agricultural expansion, and invasive plant species that compete for resources in its specialized cliff and rocky outcrop habitats. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency, which could further stress the already small population.
Habitat
This endemic bellflower inhabits rocky cliffs, volcanic outcrops, and steep slopes on the island of Brava in the Cape Verde archipelago. It grows in crevices and ledges of basaltic rock formations, typically in areas with sparse vegetation and well-drained soils.
