Tanacetum oshanahanii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Tanacetum oshanahanii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while overgrazing by livestock has degraded remaining habitat patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting the specialized montane conditions this endemic species requires.
Habitat
This endemic species inhabits specialized montane environments, typically found in rocky slopes and alpine meadows at high elevations. It requires specific soil conditions and microclimatic factors that are naturally rare and highly localized within its restricted geographic range.
