Pseudohynobius shuichengensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pseudohynobius shuichengensis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range in Guizhou Province, China. The species' restricted distribution makes it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes, while pollution from agricultural runoff and mining activities further degrades its aquatic breeding habitats.
Habitat
This salamander inhabits mountain streams, springs, and adjacent moist terrestrial environments in limestone karst terrain of Guizhou Province, China. It requires clean, cool water sources for breeding and nearby forest cover or rocky crevices for terrestrial refuge.
