Campanula sciathia

Unknown

Overview

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

Campanula sciathia faces severe pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted Mediterranean range, where urban development and agricultural expansion continue to fragment its specialized rocky habitat. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change threatens to alter the specific microclimatic conditions required for its survival in limestone crevices.

Threat summary

Habitat
