Chorisochora striata

Unknown

Overview

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

Chorisochora striata faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and intensification across its limited range in southeastern Europe and western Asia. Habitat degradation from overgrazing by livestock and conversion of natural grasslands to cropland has fragmented populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting the steppe ecosystems this species depends upon.
