Most of our endangered laws are presented to law makers by one mans
opinion.The law makers dont have the foggiest idea about what the man is
talking about ( But it sounds good ) so they pass it without calling anyone to
come to its defense. I have worked with aquatics for 40 years and have seen
this happen many times to shells, fish and plants. In the case of the
beautiful green tree snail it comes from mountains of Manus Island of the
coast of Papua New Guinea. These snails are not on the endangered  list of
many countries .In Papua New Guinea they appear by the basket fulls in the
markets.They are white yellow and green ones in the same basket. This snail
would appear to be endangerd during the dry season because it hides and is
very hard to find but when it rains WOW.        Glenn Tolman.
