This photo provided by Lynne Buckner shows a Kings River pryg, a springsnail found in 13 isolated springs around Thacker Pass, 200 miles northeast of Reno, Nev., on April 7, 2022. Conservationists are seeking Endangered Species Act protection of the tiny snail half the size of a pea that’s known to exist only in high-desert springs near a huge lithium mine planned along the Nevada-Oregon line.
