Cookeconcha contorta
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cookeconcha contorta faces severe threats from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agriculture and development. The species' extremely limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, with small population sizes unable to withstand even minor habitat disturbances. Invasive plant species are altering the forest understory composition, disrupting the specific microhabitat conditions this endemic snail requires for survival.
Habitat
This endemic land snail inhabits moist native forests with dense leaf litter and specific microclimate conditions. It requires undisturbed forest floor environments with consistent moisture levels and organic debris for shelter and feeding.
