Jardinella acuminata

Unknown

Overview

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

Jardinella acuminata faces severe threats from habitat degradation and water quality decline in its restricted freshwater spring environments. Urban development and agricultural runoff have contaminated the pristine spring systems this endemic gastropod depends upon. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, with entire populations at risk from single disturbance events.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic freshwater gastropod inhabits pristine spring systems and associated seepage areas in southeastern Queensland, Australia. It requires clean, well-oxygenated water with stable temperatures and specific mineral compositions typical of artesian spring environments.
