CRCritically Endangered
Tellia apodus
Declining
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Tellia apodus faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbance. Pollution from agricultural runoff and urban waste further degrades the quality of its remaining habitat patches.
Habitat
Tellia apodus inhabits moist terrestrial environments including forest floors, leaf litter, and areas near freshwater sources. The species requires specific microhabitat conditions with high humidity and organic matter for survival.
