Campeloma decampi

Unknown

Overview

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

Campeloma decampi faces significant threats from water pollution and sedimentation in its limited freshwater habitats. Agricultural runoff and urban development have degraded water quality in the streams and springs where this freshwater snail occurs. Dam construction and water diversions have altered natural flow regimes, while invasive species compete for resources and habitat space.
