Hello,

A Red List was published containing several Molluscs

http://www.redlist.org/search/search.php?freetext=mollusca&modifier=phrase&criteria=wholedb&taxa_species=1&redlistCategory%5B%5D=allex&country%5B%5D=all&aquatic%5B%5D=all&regions%5B%5D=all&habitats%5B%5D=all&threats%5B%5D=all

If the link is not working you can access it directly at

http://www.redlist.org/search/search-basic.html        and type in mollusca

It is a quite complex list and they give the name of the researcher who
confirmed the endangered situation of each species. Many have a "Mollusc
Specialist Group " there, so I am not sure who is in this "group".

Of course the list has some mistakes -for example Drymaeus acervatus is a
plague in São Paulo State, Brazil.

I did not look at the entire list, but it would be a good idea to check it
and question them about any mistakes. I am pretty sure we know much more
about shell distribution than many of these "contributors" who stay all day
long inside an office.

I see the day every shell will be in one of these lists - unless you prefer
to switch to stamps or coins I would suggest to start giving correct
information to these guys....

Marcus
