Poecilotheria Metallica Tarantula

Conservation
P. metallica is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN Red List. The primary threats to the species' survival are habitat degradation and loss to logging and firewood harvesting. Amplifying the severity of this threat is the extremely limited range of P. metallica. Another threat identified by IUCN assessors is specimen collection for the pet trade.
The species' numbers are not known, but the combination of its small natural range and the threats in that area indicates a declining population trend.
