Bulimulus habeli
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Bulimulus habeli faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Ecuador. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while introduced species and pollution from human activities further compromise its survival. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the moisture-dependent microhabitats essential for this terrestrial gastropod.
Habitat
This terrestrial gastropod inhabits dry forest and scrubland environments in coastal Ecuador, typically found in leaf litter and under vegetation in areas with specific moisture and temperature requirements. The species appears to be restricted to a very limited geographic range within Ecuador's coastal dry forest ecosystem.
