Conservation
Newcomb’s tree snail currently receives no protection under Hawaii's endangered species law or the Federal Endangered Species Act.
The species occurs on private property located with the West Maui Watershed Partnership. The Partnership works to protect and restore the watershed through natural resource management, which includes, but is not limited to, fencing, ungulate removal, and nonnative invasive plant and animal control, including rats.
