UnknownVUEUVUEU

Overview

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

Cibinia nana faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted range within Mediterranean coastal ecosystems. Agricultural intensification and urban development have fragmented the specialized sandy and rocky substrates this small weevil requires for reproduction and feeding. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the plant communities upon which this species depends.
