Overview

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

Ling Tubic populations face severe pressure from agricultural expansion and intensive farming practices that destroy their specialized microhabitat requirements. Urban development and infrastructure projects have fragmented remaining suitable areas, while pollution from agricultural runoff degrades water quality in their breeding sites. Climate change is altering precipitation patterns, affecting the moisture levels critical for their reproductive success.

Threat summary

Habitat
