It is now largely restricted to a range of less than 5 km² of remnant lowland rainforest, scattered around the Tweed, Byron and Ballina Shires of northern New South Wales. A significant population can still be found on the Stotts Island Nature Reserve on the Tweed River. Scientists believe that less than 500 mature individuals remain in the wild.

While it prefers and enjoys palm and fig trees, the Mitchell’s rainforest snail is usually traveling along the forest floor among fallen leaves or under the bark on many trees. (Wikipedia)
