Videna pagodula

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Videna pagodula faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' highly specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to even small-scale environmental changes. Overcollection for the ornamental trade has further reduced already fragmented populations, while climate-induced shifts in precipitation patterns threaten the delicate moisture balance of its microhabitat.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits specialized microhabitats within tropical limestone formations, typically found in humid crevices and moss-covered rock faces at elevations between 200-800 meters. It requires consistent moisture levels and specific substrate conditions that occur only in undisturbed primary forest environments.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Videna pagodula classified as Critically Endangered?
Videna pagodula is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Videna pagodula faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' highly specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to even small-scale environmental changes. Overcollection for the ornamental trade has further reduced already fragmented populations, while climate-induced shifts in precipitation patterns threaten the delicate moisture balance of its microhabitat.
Where does Videna pagodula live?
Videna pagodula occurs in Palau. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Videna pagodula?
The main threats to Videna pagodula are 6.2, 7.1, 8.1, and ai-1. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
