Pinda shrirangii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pinda shrirangii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urbanization and agricultural expansion in its limited range in the Western Ghats of India. The species is particularly vulnerable to deforestation and fragmentation of its forest habitat, which reduces available breeding sites and food sources. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the moisture-dependent ecosystems this species requires.
Habitat
Pinda shrirangii inhabits tropical moist deciduous forests and evergreen forests in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot of India. The species is typically found in areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity levels that support the complex forest ecosystem it depends upon.
