Its populations are characterized by relatively low abundance and are found at altitudes exceeding 1700 m. Their contemporary conservation status currently does not raise any serious concerns. However, if the global warming trend continues, the areas suitable for the existence of the species will be significantly reduced, since the axial parts of the local ridges are mainly located at altitudes between 1800 and 2500 m.",
