In 1996, Campbell’s keeled glass snail was declared extinct; 30 years later, more than 1,000 captive-bred snails have been returned to Norfolk Island
Campbell's keeled glass snails have reached a major conservation milestone on Norfolk Island. Over one thousand critically endangered snails have now been released onto the island. This marks a significant comeback after the species was presumed lost for decades. The successful recovery program involved extensive collaboration and captive breeding efforts. Researchers will continue monitoring the snails to ensure population growth and survival.
