    Threats The main identified threats to Cranbrook Bell are its restricted distribution exposure from the loss of canopy cover due to dieback caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi in other flora species fire and grazing; particularly by rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) (Robinson Coates; 1995 Comer et al.; 2008).
