Gonospira uvula

Unknown

Overview

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

Gonospira uvula faces severe threats from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' limited range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbance. Invasive plant species are altering the understory composition where this gastropod typically forages, while climate change is affecting the moisture levels critical for its survival.

Threat summary
