Neocordulia campana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Neocordulia campana faces severe habitat degradation from urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in southeastern Australia. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and urban stormwater significantly impacts the pristine stream conditions this species requires for larval development. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency, which can reduce water levels in the specialized headwater streams where this dragonfly breeds.
Habitat
Neocordulia campana inhabits pristine headwater streams and small creeks in forested areas of southeastern Australia. The species requires clean, well-oxygenated water with rocky substrates and overhanging vegetation for breeding and larval development.
