Pseudomoraria triglavensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Pseudomoraria triglavensis faces significant threats from climate change, as warming temperatures push suitable alpine conditions to higher elevations beyond the species' reach. Habitat degradation from increased tourism and recreational activities in the Triglav National Park area poses additional pressure on this endemic cave-dwelling species. The species' extremely limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to any environmental changes or disturbances within its restricted alpine karst habitat.

Threat summary
