Succinea piratarum

Unknown

Overview

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

Succinea piratarum faces severe threats from habitat destruction as coastal development and agricultural expansion eliminate its specialized wetland environments. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species alter the moisture and vegetation structure of its native habitats. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could dry out the moist microhabitats essential for this terrestrial gastropod's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This terrestrial snail inhabits moist coastal and wetland environments, typically found in areas with high humidity and dense vegetation cover. It requires specific microhabitat conditions including adequate moisture retention and organic matter for feeding and reproduction.
