Overview

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

Pseudosphegesthes bergeri faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its extremely limited range. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, while its small population size increases extinction risk from stochastic events. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the specific microhabitat conditions this species depends upon for survival.
