Amnicola cora
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Amnicola cora faces severe threats from habitat degradation and water quality deterioration in its limited freshwater spring systems. Urban development and agricultural runoff have contaminated many of the pristine spring environments this species requires, while water extraction for human use has reduced flow rates in critical habitats. The species' extremely restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes.
Habitat
This freshwater snail inhabits pristine spring systems and associated seepage areas with consistent water flow and high water quality. It requires stable aquatic environments with specific temperature and chemical conditions typical of natural spring ecosystems.
