Right there, hidden deep in the rock, this special species lived – inconspicuous, adapted, in harmony with its environment. But as soon as it was scientifically described, fate took its course: the site was destroyed by human influence – presumably through mining work. Since then, Simandoa conserfariam has been regarded as a “extinct in the wild”extinct in the wild.

What remains is a small spark of hope – and this lies in the hands of responsible owners and dedicated breeders. It is only through their work and care that this species still exists in the world.
