Overview

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

Codringtonia intusplicata faces severe habitat degradation from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited Mediterranean range. The species' specialized limestone habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to quarrying activities and infrastructure development. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the moisture-dependent microhabitats essential for this terrestrial gastropod's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat
