Condea rivularis

Unknown

Overview

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

Condea rivularis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' restriction to specific riparian environments makes it particularly vulnerable to water management changes and pollution from agricultural runoff. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further fragmented its already small population, while climate change threatens to alter the hydrological patterns essential for its survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

Condea rivularis is endemic to riparian zones and streamside habitats in specific watersheds, typically growing along rocky creek beds and moist slopes. The species requires well-drained soils with consistent moisture levels and is adapted to the microclimate conditions found in these specialized aquatic-terrestrial transition zones.

Why is Condea rivularis classified as Critically Endangered?
Condea rivularis is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Condea rivularis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' restriction to specific riparian environments makes it particularly vulnerable to water management changes and pollution from agricultural runoff. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further fragmented its already small population, while climate change threatens to alter the hydrological patterns essential for its survival.
Where does Condea rivularis live?
Condea rivularis occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
