02Description

Species Profile

Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Celothelium ischnobelum faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and urban development in its limited range. The species' highly specialized substrate requirements and sensitivity to air pollution make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes. Climate change is altering the microclimatic conditions necessary for this lichen's survival.
