The National Red List Project

Please note, this National Red List website contains a subset of data whilst we transition to national focal point driven data uploads. We thank you for your patience with this and welcome national contributors to get in touch to update their national dataset. Terms of Use including citation guidance are found here.

The previous dataset is available via: https://archive.nationalredlist.org/. This site is no longer updated but can help with most enquiries whilst we focus on redevelopment.

Assessment rationale/justification
There still appears to be uncertainty regarding the exact distribution of this species within the UAE. Confirmation of the presence and distribution of this species in the country is needed, in addition to its origin, and it is therefore considered Data Deficient.

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
UAE records of this species are from F. Karim (G.R. Feulner pers. comm. 2019); from plantations and mountains near Masafi and Dibba. The species was Not Evaluated for the 2010 Red Data Book (MEW 2010) as, at the time, its presence was known from a single mention by Cope (2007) and identity of these records requires confirmation (S. Ghazanfar pers. comm. 2018). It is also unclear whether this species is native or introduced to the UAE. Globally, the species has a circum-Mediterranean distribution, extending eastwards to Central Asia; occurs in the UAE, but only doubtfully present in Saudi Arabia (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019).
