Snail the Movie

To mark the end of the first stage of the project we’ve released, with the Environmental Report, a 20-minute DVD documenting the programme to date. The story of the snails is quite remarkable.  It has received huge publicity, often generated by opponents of the initiative, which has at times overshadowed the good work by our staff and the Department to enhance the prospects of this snail population.

Please view the below trailer of the documentary about the programme to relocate native land snails, Powelliphanta "Augustus", from the Mt Augustus ridgeline of Stockton Opencast Mine in the Buller.

For more information on the programme please see our media release, or view the 2007 Environmental Report.
