Partula rosea is a species of air-breathing tropical land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Partulidae. This species was endemic to Huahine, French Polynesia. It is now extinct in the wild, only existing in captivity.[1]
Half the world's population of this snail is within one room at a zoo in the UK.[2]
