Ischnothyrella jivani
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ischnothyrella jivani faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to limestone quarrying and mining activities in its restricted range. Urban development and agricultural expansion have further fragmented the remaining suitable habitat patches. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbances.
Habitat
This critically endangered land snail inhabits limestone karst formations and rocky outcrops in tropical regions. It requires specific microhabitat conditions including adequate moisture levels and calcium-rich substrates typical of limestone environments.
