Thalia pavonii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Thalia pavonii faces significant pressure from habitat destruction as wetland areas are drained for agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its range. The species is particularly vulnerable to water pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial discharge, which degrades the aquatic ecosystems it depends on. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect water levels in its preferred shallow wetland habitats.
Habitat
Thalia pavonii inhabits shallow freshwater wetlands, marshes, and slow-moving waterways with emergent vegetation. The species thrives in areas with fluctuating water levels and rich organic sediments that support diverse aquatic plant communities.
