How do mollusks species become endangered?
Habitat loss is the greatest single factor threatening the survival of many species (1995 National Academy of Sciences study). The ecosystems to which they are adapted and on which they depend have been degraded, fragmented, or even totally destroyed. Urbanization and agriculture have introduced ‘exotic’ species that have been so successful in their new habitat, many natural plant and animal communities have disappeared.
