Campanula papillosa

Stable

Overview

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

Campanula papillosa faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited Mediterranean range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency. Overgrazing by livestock has degraded many of its rocky habitat sites, reducing population viability.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic bellflower inhabits rocky limestone cliffs, crevices, and steep slopes in Mediterranean scrubland environments. It typically grows in well-drained, calcareous soils at elevations between 200-800 meters, often in association with other specialized cliff-dwelling plant communities.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Campanula papillosa classified as Endangered?
Campanula papillosa 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 papillosa faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited Mediterranean range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency. Overgrazing by livestock has degraded many of its rocky habitat sites, reducing population viability.
Where does Campanula papillosa live?
Campanula papillosa 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 papillosa?
The main threats to Campanula papillosa 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.
