Dissotis humilis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Dissotis humilis faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in tropical Africa. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to land conversion, while collection for traditional medicinal uses has intensified pressure on remaining populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the moist conditions this species requires.
Habitat
Dissotis humilis inhabits moist grasslands, forest edges, and disturbed areas in tropical African regions. The species typically occurs in areas with consistent moisture and partial shade, often found along stream banks and in secondary growth vegetation.
