Krapfia grace-servatiae

Declining

Overview

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

Krapfia grace-servatiae 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 that could disrupt the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires.
