Klarobelia subglobosa

Unknown

Overview

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

Klarobelia subglobosa faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its extremely limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while collection pressure for the horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Klarobelia subglobosa inhabits specialized rocky outcrops and cliff faces in semi-arid regions, typically growing in crevices with well-drained soils. The species requires specific microclimate conditions with particular moisture and temperature regimes found only in its narrow altitudinal range.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Klarobelia subglobosa classified as Critically Endangered?
Klarobelia subglobosa is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Klarobelia subglobosa faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its extremely limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while collection pressure for the horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires.
Where does Klarobelia subglobosa live?
Klarobelia subglobosa occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Klarobelia subglobosa?
The main threats to Klarobelia subglobosa 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.
