Hadopyrgus rawhiti is a critically endangered species of freshwater snail native to New Zealand.

Habitat

This snail has been found in only one location:[3] a seepage by a waterfall in a stream between Hopewell & Raetihi, behind Double Bay, Kenepuru Sound.[4] The population trend of this snail is currently unknown, but it is considered potentially threatened by habitat destruction.[3]

Conservation status

In November 2018 the Department of Conservation classified Hadopyrgus rawhiti as Nationally Critical under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.[1] The species was judged as meeting the criteria for Nationally Critical threat status as a result of it only being found in one location which was less than 1 ha in size.[1]

gollark: Hmm, that's old then.

gollark: Out of interest, what kernel version are you running?

gollark: Well, I'll just have to frantically duckduckgo "sandbox escapes in docker" or something.

gollark: Is it permitted to interfere with other entrants?

gollark: <@!293066066605768714> Is the program permitted to do arbitrary things to the machine on which it runs as long as they probably aren't bad much?
