Geocharis radicalis

Declining

Overview

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

Geocharis radicalis faces severe threats from agricultural expansion and intensive farming practices that destroy its specialized soil microhabitats. Urban development and infrastructure projects further fragment the limited areas where this ground beetle can survive. The species' restricted range and highly specific habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance.

Threat summary

Habitat

This ground beetle inhabits specialized soil environments and underground microhabitats in temperate regions. It requires specific soil chemistry and moisture conditions that are increasingly rare due to human land use changes.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Geocharis radicalis classified as Endangered?
Geocharis radicalis is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Geocharis radicalis faces severe threats from agricultural expansion and intensive farming practices that destroy its specialized soil microhabitats. Urban development and infrastructure projects further fragment the limited areas where this ground beetle can survive. The species' restricted range and highly specific habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance.
Where does Geocharis radicalis live?
Geocharis radicalis occurs in Indonesia. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Geocharis radicalis?
The main threats to Geocharis radicalis are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
