Target: Ms. Penny Sharpe, Minister for the Environment and Heritage in Australia
Goal: Advocate for the conservation of the Tahitian land snail to prevent its extinction.
The Tahitian land snail is a critically endangered species that is only found in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. These snails are facing a significant threat of extinction due to habitat loss, introduced predators, and climate change. They play an essential role in maintaining the ecological balance of their ecosystem and have unique cultural significance to the Indigenous people of French Polynesia.
The solution to this problem is to implement conservation measures to protect the Tahitian land snail. This includes habitat restoration and protection, predator control, and captive breeding programs. The conservation of this species will not only preserve a vital component of the ecosystem, but also safeguard the cultural heritage of the Polynesian people.
The benefits of conservation efforts for the Tahitian land snail are significant. It will prevent the extinction of a unique and valuable species, preserve the ecosystem’s balance, and support the cultural heritage of French Polynesia. By conserving the Tahitian land snail, we can also promote the principles of sustainable development, which aim to maintain the environment’s integrity and improve the well-being of current and future generations.
Sign below and demand the authorities take decisive and prompt action to protect this endangered species before it is too late.
