Campanula euboica

Unknown

Overview

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

Campanula euboica faces severe threats from habitat degradation due to overgrazing by livestock, particularly goats, which damage the rocky crevices and cliff faces where this endemic bellflower grows. Urban development and quarrying activities on Euboea Island have further reduced available habitat, while the species' extremely limited range makes it vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Greek bellflower inhabits limestone cliffs, rocky crevices, and steep calcareous slopes on the island of Euboea. It grows in Mediterranean scrubland and rocky outcrops at elevations between 200-800 meters, typically in areas with sparse vegetation and well-drained soils.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Campanula euboica classified as Endangered?
Campanula euboica is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Campanula euboica faces severe threats from habitat degradation due to overgrazing by livestock, particularly goats, which damage the rocky crevices and cliff faces where this endemic bellflower grows. Urban development and quarrying activities on Euboea Island have further reduced available habitat, while the species' extremely limited range makes it vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.
Where does Campanula euboica live?
Campanula euboica occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Campanula euboica?
The main threats to Campanula euboica are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
