The Forêt Plate dwarf skink (Nannoscincus humectus) is a species of skink found in Province Nord, New Caledonia.[1][2] Its geographical distribution is very limited as it occurs in only two locations in Province Nord, totalling an area of occupancy of 12 km2 (4.6 sq mi).[1] This distribution and the skink's population have been decreasing, for these reasons it is classified by the IUCN as Endangered.[1]
