Nepeta balouchestanica is a perennial species belonging to the Lamiaceae family. This species is endemic to Sistan and Baluchestan province SE Iran, mainly restricted to rocky areas. In the present study, the conservation status of the species was assessed based on three IUCN conservation criteria and categories, including the area of occupancy (AOO), the extent of occurrence (EOO), and the size of the population. The results showed that this species was found in four localities other than the locality type (M. Taftan). The mean values of AOO and EOO were about 20 and 44.918 square kilometers, respectively. Based on these data, and according to the IUCN guideline, this species is classified as critically endangered (CR). The main threatening factors are over-grazing and consecutive drought. It is suggested that its habitat be conserved by the Forests, Range, and Watershed Management Organization, the number of livestock grazing in the region be reduced, and more sustainable use of habitats be made.
