Invertebrate: Dlinza Forest Pinwheel


Description

Dlinza Forest Pinwheel (Trachycystis clifdeni) is a Critically Endangered snail known only from Dlinza forest, South Africa. The forest is protected under KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife, however, it is a very small area (only 250 hectares) within an urban location and there is concern that the species may be negatively impacted by extreme stochastic weather conditions and climate change.

  • It's a snail, if we don't know it exists, why would we care if it's gone?

  • what kind of a comment is that, pikkel weezel?! You must be stupid, really! By your thought, then, if we don't know that you exist (pikkel weezel), we don't care if you´re gone either!
