Succinea quadrasi

Unknown

Overview

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

Succinea quadrasi faces severe habitat degradation from urban expansion and agricultural conversion across its limited Philippine range. The species' dependence on specific moisture conditions in lowland areas makes it particularly vulnerable to drainage and land use changes. Coastal development and infrastructure projects have eliminated many historical populations, while remaining fragments face ongoing pressure from human encroachment.

Threat summary

Habitat

This endemic Philippine land snail inhabits moist lowland areas, typically found in humid microhabitats near streams, marshes, and coastal wetlands. The species requires consistent moisture levels and is associated with native vegetation in areas below 200 meters elevation.
