Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Alopia straminicollis faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its limited alpine range. The species is particularly vulnerable to climate change effects that alter the delicate moisture and temperature conditions of its high-altitude limestone environments. Human activities including quarrying and tourism development in mountainous regions pose additional localized threats to remaining populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits high-altitude limestone environments in alpine regions, typically found in rocky crevices and scree slopes where specific moisture and temperature conditions are maintained. The snail requires the particular microclimate conditions found in calcareous mountain habitats with adequate shelter and humidity.
