B. The conservation status of a Species is an indicator of the likelihood of that species remaining extant either in the present day or the near future Organisms with a conservation status of critically endangered have an extremely high risk of becoming extinct The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List) created in 1963 is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global Molluscs are animals belonging to the phylum Mollusca.

Bulimulus ochsneri is a species of gastropod in the Orthalicidae family. William Healey Dall, ( August 21, 1845 - March 27, 1927) was a great American naturalist and a prominent malacologist The class Gastropoda or the gastropods, also previously known as gasteropods, or univalves, and more commonly known as Snails Orthalicidae is a family of tropical air-breathing land Snails terrestrial Gastropod Mollusks in the order Stylommatophora It is endemic to Ecuador. Endemism is the Ecological state of being unique to a place Endemic species are not naturally found elsewhere For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Ecuador topics. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. A habitat (which is Latin for "it inhabits" is an Ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular Species. Shrubland (synonymous with Scrubland) is a habitat type dominated by woody Shrubs A shrub is a perennial woody plant that branches at ground level to form several Grasslands (also called greenswards) are areas where the Vegetation is dominated by Grasses ( Poaceae) and other Herbaceous (non-woody It is threatened by habitat loss. Habitat destruction is the process in which natural Habitat is rendered functionally unable to support the species originally present
