Finally, the discovery have implications for conservation and human health. The spider is endemic to the Sierra de las Cacachilas, meaning that it is found nowhere else in the world. This makes it vulnerable to habitat loss and degradation caused by human activities. The researchers hope that their discovery will raise awareness and interest in protecting this unique ecosystem. Moreover, the spider may have potential medical applications, as its venom could contain compounds that could be useful for treating diseases or pain.
