Paranocticola venezuelana

Unknown

Overview

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

Paranocticola venezuelana faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in Venezuela's fragmented forest ecosystems. Deforestation for agricultural expansion and urban development has reduced the availability of suitable microhabitats this specialized species requires. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the humid conditions necessary for this invertebrate's survival.

Threat summary
