Abstract(s)

JUSTIFICATION: Trechus terrabravensis has a Species Recovery Score of 83% (Slightly Depleted). The species is endemic to Ilha Terceira. While much forest has been cleared on the island, and protected areas established in response, the species is a habitat specialist restricted to inaccessible areas and it is unclear how much habitat has been lost to human development; therefore, the Conservation Legacy is Indeterminate. The species has a High Conservation Dependence; without continued management of invasive plants, the species' score is expected to decrease to 25% over the next 10 years. However, continued removal of invasive plants and creation of corridors is expected to benefit the species in future, with maximum expected recovery to 92% achievable within the next 10 years, giving the species a Low Conservation Gain and Recovery Potential.
