Ogasawarana chichijimana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ogasawarana chichijimana faces severe threats from invasive species, particularly the introduced flatworm Platydemus manokwari, which preys directly on native land snails. Habitat degradation from invasive plants and human development on Chichijima Island has further reduced suitable forest environments. The species' extremely restricted range on a single small island makes it exceptionally vulnerable to any environmental changes or catastrophic events.
Habitat
This endemic land snail inhabits the native forest environments of Chichijima Island in the Ogasawara Islands, Japan. It requires humid forest conditions with appropriate leaf litter and vegetation for shelter and feeding.
