Vestia roschitzi is a species of air-breathing land snail within the family Clausiliidae, [1]
This species is endemic to the Balkan Region with a distribution covering eastern Bulgaria, southern Serbia, northern Albania, Montenegro, and eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its habitat is within mountains and foothills, living in wet deciduous forests, bushes, and rocks amongst vegetation at elevations of 500 to 2500 meters high. [2]
The current subpopulations on Vestia roschitzi are assumed to be stable, and no major threats are known to effect the species, although because of its morphological forms having a localized distribution range between populations it can be easily effected by disturbances within its environment. It has been classified as 'Least concern' by the IUCN Red List, as its large distribution covers several protected areas. [2]

An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching, and invasive species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List lists the global conservation status of many species, and various other agencies assess the status of species within particular areas. Many nations have laws that protect conservation-reliant species which, for example, forbid hunting, restrict land development, or create protected areas. Some endangered species are the target of extensive conservation efforts such as captive breeding and habitat restoration.
