Draparnaudia anniae

Unknown

Overview

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

Draparnaudia anniae faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbance. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the moisture-dependent microhabitats this terrestrial gastropod requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This terrestrial snail inhabits moist microhabitats within limestone karst formations, typically found under rocks, in leaf litter, and among vegetation in cave entrances and rocky crevices. The species requires consistently humid conditions and calcareous substrates that provide both shelter and the calcium necessary for shell development.
