The Danube freshwater nerite – certainly no evil snail

The flood disaster on the Perschling River in Lower Austria has affected us all deeply, especially the incredible and outright false reports claiming that Theodoxus danubialis or the protection of this snail has delayed or even prevented the dam restoration. We have compiled a fact sheet of the snail in order to better understand its way of life and its occurrence (in German). → Steckbrief Theodoxus danubialis

In addition, we want to share the link to a statement from the Naturschutzbund on this topic (in German):
