VUVulnerable
Melanopsidium nigrum
Declining
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Melanopsidium nigrum faces severe pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial discharge poses additional risks to this freshwater gastropod. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities.
Habitat
This freshwater gastropod inhabits slow-moving streams, rivers, and associated wetland areas with muddy or sandy substrates. It typically occurs in lowland aquatic environments with abundant vegetation and organic matter.
