Scientific name: Achatinella viridans

Conservation status: Extinct

Achatinella viridans was once found from Nuuanu to Palolo on Oahu. They were reported to be so numerous that they hung in clusters on vines but unfortunately, this species is now considered extinct. 

A portion of proceeds supports Bishop Museum’s Hawaiian Land Snail Program to enhance biodiversity monitoring, conservation assessments, habitat and diet research, genetic diversity research, conservation education, and more.

Pacific island land snails have suffered more extinctions than any other group of animals in the world. Hawaiʻi once harbored more than 750 land snail species, but more than half have disappeared due to habitat loss and predation by invasive species. Land snails are vital parts of native ecosystems, as they play a crucial role as decomposers and fungivores. Conservationists are working diligently preserve the immense diversity of Hawaiian land snails.
