Partulina porcellana is categorized as a G1 Critically Imperiled species, meaning that it's at high risk of extinction. It's endemic to Maui, Hawaii and has been found throughout Makawao and Kipahulu. The population of the species is in small numbers as its reproductive rate is low.^[6] Partulina porcellana can be found on the island of Maui, specifically in Kipahulu Valley, mainly residing on Antidesma platyphyllum.^[7] Due to invasion of Psidium cattleianum, commonly known as strawberry guava, the Partulina porcellana's habitat is at risk.^[8] This species is the rarest throughout the Valley.^[9]
