Rarotonga
Lying at the heart of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific, Rarotonga is a rugged volcanic island of around 67 km². Dense mountainous rainforest covers much of its interior, sheltering a remarkable range of endemic land snail species. In October 2022, AMRI researchers visited the island to carry out surveys across low- and high-elevation forests, documenting the island's remarkable snail diversity.
