Jardinella coreena
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Jardinella coreena faces severe pressure from groundwater extraction and agricultural development in its limited spring habitat range. Urban expansion and water diversion for irrigation have significantly reduced water flow in the natural springs this species depends upon. Climate change-induced drought patterns further threaten the already fragile hydrological systems that support these endemic freshwater snail populations.
Habitat
This freshwater gastropod is endemic to natural spring systems and associated wetland areas in northeastern Australia. The species requires consistent groundwater-fed springs with specific water chemistry and temperature conditions typical of artesian spring environments.
