| Summary | Vertigo angustior shows a declining tendency within its whole European range. In Poland it still has about twenty prosperous populations but, like in other parts of its range, is threatened by drainage of wetlands, grazing and recently also eutrophication. It is recommended that some of its localities should be protected as nature reserves; designation of protected areas should be preceded by an expertise in order to identify the most abundant populations. | |
