Overview

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

Laminella sanguinea faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while invasive plant species alter the microhabitat conditions essential for its survival. Climate change compounds these pressures by shifting precipitation patterns that affect the moisture-dependent ecosystems this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Laminella sanguinea inhabits moist, shaded environments including forest understories, stream banks, and areas with consistent moisture and organic matter accumulation. The species requires specific microhabitat conditions with stable humidity levels and protection from direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Laminella sanguinea classified as Critically Endangered?
Laminella sanguinea 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. Laminella sanguinea faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while invasive plant species alter the microhabitat conditions essential for its survival. Climate change compounds these pressures by shifting precipitation patterns that affect the moisture-dependent ecosystems this species requires.
Where does Laminella sanguinea live?
Laminella sanguinea 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 Laminella sanguinea?
The main threats to Laminella sanguinea 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.
