Scientific Name:	Abida gittenbergeri

Assessment Information [top]

Red List Category & Criteria:	Near Threatened ver 3.1
Year Published:	2011

Justification: This species is endemic to Spain and the French Pyrenees. It lives only in a small region, in La Garrotxa and Alt Empordá regions (Girona, north of Catalonia) as well as in the neighbouring French locality of Coustouges. Although its extent of occurrence are very limited and the number of locations is below ten, there is not a continuous decline in distribution range, habitat or locations. If land-use management changed significantly, and range decline was observed then the species would meet the criteria for a threatened category. This species is listed as Near Threatened. This species was assessed at the European level as Near Threatened.

Conservation Actions [top]

Conservation Actions:	Conservation actions should address habitat preservation. Protected areas of La Garrotxa allows the preservation of its habitat. More research is needed to know the population size and trends, as well as to ensure that the ecological requirements of this species are known and that management plans incorporate this information. More information is needed on the extent of its range.
