Campanula goulimyi

Unknown

Overview

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

Campanula goulimyi faces severe pressure from habitat degradation due to overgrazing by livestock, particularly goats, which damage the fragile limestone cliff ecosystems where it grows. Urban development and quarrying activities in the Peloponnese region threaten remaining populations through direct habitat destruction. Climate change poses an additional risk, as the species' narrow altitudinal range and specialized microhabitat requirements make it vulnerable to shifting temperature and precipitation patterns.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic bellflower inhabits limestone cliffs, rocky crevices, and steep slopes in the mountainous regions of the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece. It typically grows at elevations between 400-1200 meters in specialized microhabitats with well-drained, alkaline soils and partial shade.
