Seribuat Bent-toed Gecko

Cyrtodactylus seribuatensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Cyrtodactylus seribuatensis faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as limestone karst formations in its restricted range are quarried for cement production and construction materials. The species' extremely limited distribution on Seribu Islands makes it particularly vulnerable to any environmental changes or human activities within its small habitat range. Coastal development and tourism infrastructure expansion further fragment the remaining suitable limestone cave and crevice habitats essential for this gecko's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat
