Galushko's Jurinea

Jurinea galushkoi

Declining

Overview

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

Jurinea galushkoi faces severe threats from agricultural expansion and overgrazing in its limited mountain habitat range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat degradation from livestock grazing and conversion of natural grasslands to cultivated fields. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific temperature and precipitation conditions required for this high-altitude endemic plant.
