Overview

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

Ring Pellia faces severe decline due to habitat destruction from urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial discharge degrades the pristine aquatic conditions this bryophyte requires. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and increased drought frequency, which can desiccate the moist environments essential for its survival.

Threat summary
