Campanula seraglio

Stable

Overview

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

Campanula seraglio faces severe threats from urban development and infrastructure expansion across its extremely limited range in Turkey. The species' restriction to specific limestone cliff habitats makes it particularly vulnerable to quarrying activities and construction projects. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the delicate moisture balance required for this cliff-dwelling endemic.

Threat summary

Habitat
