Overview

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

Mountain Bladderwort faces severe threats from habitat degradation and loss of specialized wetland ecosystems. Climate change and human disturbance to fragile bog and fen systems have significantly reduced suitable habitat, while water pollution and altered hydrology further compromise remaining populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

Acidic bogs, fens, shallow pools, and marshy areas with nutrient-poor waters, typically in montane and northern temperate regions. This carnivorous plant requires specific water chemistry conditions and grows submerged or floating in permanent or semi-permanent wetlands.
