Ecology and Conservatioon of Chlorogomphus magnificus in Mount Ungaran

Chlorogomphus magnificus was listed as data deficient species by the IUCN. So far this species has only been recorded from Mount Ungaran in 2023. Chlorogomphus magnificus is a dragonfly species from the family Chlorogomphidae, commonly found in montane and forested river habitats. Its presence in Mount Ungaran is likely influenced by the availability of clean water sources, forested streams, and suitable climate conditions. The region's high humidity and moderate temperatures provide an ideal environment for its survival. Additionally, the species plays an important ecological role as both a predator of smaller insects and prey for larger species. However, anthropogenic threats such as deforestation, land-use changes, and water pollution may negatively impact its population.

This grant is funded as part of our Fonseca Leadership Program which was established by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This fund supports young conservationists from developing countries.
