Overview

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

Pernagera gatliffi faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted range within the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. Agricultural expansion and urbanization have fragmented its forest habitat, while climate change threatens to alter the specific microhabitat conditions this species requires. Collection pressure for the ornamental trade has also contributed to population declines in accessible areas.
