Overview

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

Lampadia webbiana faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while invasive plant species alter the understory composition essential for its survival. Collection pressure for the ornamental trade has further reduced wild populations in accessible areas.

Threat summary

Habitat

Lampadia webbiana faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while invasive plant species alter the understory composition essential for its survival. Collection pressure for the ornamental trade has further reduced wild populations in accessible areas.
Where does Lampadia webbiana live?
Lampadia webbiana occurs in Portugal. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Lampadia webbiana?
The main threats to Lampadia webbiana 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.
