Distribution
This species of freshwater limpet is endemic to Kenya.[1] Its natural habitat is rivers.[1] It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
gollark: Actually, this is somewhat true even with much less technology, since global trade has IIRC been required for *ages* to keep everything running.
gollark: If you want to maintain our current technology, you need wide-scale coordination for the economies of scale to work out.
gollark: Technology is too complicated for it to work now.
gollark: It won't go well *at all*.
gollark: The grid here noticeably breaks for a few hours every year or so, presumably because there's a lot of redundancy due to lots of components in it. If we had a smaller-scale one, it would either have to be really overbuilt or fail when it was cloudy for too many weeks or something like that, but it would be free of cascading-failure-y problems.
