Cyathopoma randalana

Unknown

Overview

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

Cyathopoma randalana faces severe habitat degradation from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in the Western Ghats. The species' restricted distribution to specific microhabitats makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances. Deforestation and conversion of native forest to plantations have fragmented remaining populations, while climate change threatens to alter the moisture regimes essential for this terrestrial gastropod's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This terrestrial gastropod inhabits moist forest floors and leaf litter in the tropical montane forests of the Western Ghats. It requires specific microhabitat conditions with high humidity and stable temperature regimes found in undisturbed forest ecosystems.
