The non-marine molluscs of the Gambier Islands are a part of the molluscan fauna of French Polynesia. There is a high degree of endemism of these species. The gastropod fauna has been affected by severe alterations to the natural environment of the Gambier Islands.[1] 43 of the 46 species of snails that once made the Gambier Islands their homes are now extinct.[2]
