Kawanaphila pachomai

Unknown

Overview

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

Kawanaphila pachomai faces severe habitat degradation from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in the Philippines. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation, while its restricted distribution increases extinction risk from localized threats. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moist forest conditions this cricket requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic cricket species inhabits moist tropical forests and forest edges in the Philippines, requiring specific microhabitat conditions including adequate moisture levels and forest canopy cover. The species appears to be restricted to primary and secondary forest environments with dense vegetation structure.
