Threats listed in assessment
There are no known widespread threats. There are no immediate threats to the population at Al Khulaibiah, although at the entrance to the wadi (c.400 m away), there is evidence of recent bulldozing of silt and sand. However, the subpopulation resides sufficiently high enough for this not to be a threat (D. Aplin pers. comm. 2019).
