Ordentlich Kröten für die Frösche! 💸 Die DGHT-Stadtgruppe Mönchengladbach/Krefeld hat ein ausgesprochen charmantes Kinder-Bastel-und-Action-Buch über die Lebensgeschichte von Rüdiger herausgebracht, einem Vertreter des in der Terraristik äußerst beliebten Baumsteigerfroschs der Art Epipedobates anthonyi. 📖 Der Überschuss aus dem Verkauf der Bücher sollte Citizen Conservation zukommen, weil wir mit dem Dreistreifen-Baumsteiger Epipedobates tricolor sozusagen den großen, aber stark gefährdeten Bruder von Rüdiger in unserem Erhaltungszuchtprogramm betreuen. Die 1000-Euro-Spende wurde am Freitag von Stefanie Leber (rechts) und Kristina Maciejek an unseren Heiko Werning übergeben, der zum Vortrag über unser Projekt ins Rheinland gekommen war. Eine tolle Aktion! Rüdigers Bande und CC trällern begeistert: danke! * Plenty of bucks for the frogs! The DGHT Mönchengladbach/Krefeld city group has published an exceptionally charming children's craft-and-action book about the life story of Rüdiger, a representative of Anthony's poison arrow frog, Epipedobates anthonyi, which is extremely popular in terraristics. The surplus from the sale of the books was donated to Citizen Conservation because we are looking after Rüdiger's bigger yet highly endangered brother, the three-striped treecreeper Epipedobates tricolor, in our conservation breeding program. The 1000 euro donation was handed over on Friday by Stefanie Leber (right) and Kristina Maciejek to our Heiko Werning, who had come to the Rheinland to give a talk about our project.

Sie sind groß, giftig, schnell, klein, verspielt, gefährlich, neugierig, tödlich, furchteinflößend, farbenfroh, anmutig und vieles mehr, aber vor allem sind sie einzigartig und leider häufig bedroht – Tiere. 💚 Heute, am internationalen Tag des Artenschutzes, soll einmal mehr die Aufmerksamkeit auf die faszinierende Welt der Fauna gelenkt werden und auf den Verlust der Biodiversität, den viele Forscher ähnlich bedrohlich wie den Klimawandel einschätzen. 🌏 Der Tierpark und das Tropen-Aquarium setzen sich seit vielen Jahren dafür ein, die natürliche Vielfalt zu erhalten und bedrohte Tierarten zu schützen. Daher liegt die Hoffnung von Hagenbeck in der Nachzucht seltener Tierarten, der Sicherung von Lebensräumen aber eben auch auf der Sensibilisierung für unsere belebte Welt. „Als zoologische Einrichtung ist es unsere Aufgabe, uns für den Schutz von Tierarten einzusetzen, indem wir bedrohte Arten züchten, sie erforschen und uns für deren Lebensräume einsetzen, aber auch indem wir Tiere den Besuchern im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes näherbringen. Denn nur was man kennt, wird man schützen: und vis-à-vis erzeugt man am meisten Empathie“, so Dr. Guido Westhoff, Zoologischer Direktor bei Hagenbeck. Durch die Teilnahme an meist internationalen Zuchtprogrammen trägt Hagenbeck dazu bei, die Artenvielfalt für die nächsten Generationen zu erhalten. Aktuell beteiligt sich der Tierpark und das Tropen-Aquarium mit vielen Tierarten an Europäischen Erhaltungszuchtprogrammen (EEP). Zudem verantwortet Hagenbeck die EEP-Koordination für den Nordchinesischen Leoparden sowie die Onager und koordiniert das Monitoring-Programm (Mon-T) für die Pazifischen Walrosse. Unsere größten Zuchterfolge der letzten Jahre sind u.a. Jungtiere bei den Eisbären, Pazifischen Walrossen, Sumatra Orang-Utans, Sibirischen Tigern, Nordchinesischen Leoparden und vielen mehr.

Heute ist der 1. März und das bedeutet: Stichtag für unsere halbjährliche Bestandsmeldung. 🧮 Dass unsere Teilnehmer uns ihren Bestand an CC-Tieren zweimal jährlich melden, hilft uns, über den Tierbestand am Laufenden zu bleiben. Nur so können wir sinnvolle Managementpläne entwickeln, den Erfolg unserer Maßnahmen ablesen und wissen, wo wir eigentlich stehen. 🐸 Die Bestandsmeldung ist auch eine gute Möglichkeit, Beobachtungen, Probleme und Erfolge bei der Haltung der Tiere an uns mitzuteilen, damit unser Wissen über die Arten weiter wächst. Und schließlich ist es für uns wichtig zu wissen, wann möglicherweise Nachzuchten an neue Halter*innen vermittelt werden sollen. 📈 Die Ergebnisse dieser Zählung werden im Mai auf unserer Homepage veröffentlicht. * Today is March 1st and that means: time for our semi-annual stock report. 🧮 The fact that our participants report their stock of CC animals to us twice a year helps us to keep up to date with the animal population. This is the only way we can develop meaningful management plans, measure the success of our actions and know where we actually stand. 🐸 The population report is also a good way of sharing observations, problems and successes in animal husbandry with us so that our knowledge of the species continues to grow. And finally, it is important for us to know when any offspring are to be passed on to new keepers. 📈 The results of this census will be published on our website in May. #haltungrettetarten #artenschutz #artenvielfalt #biodiversität #conservation #breeding #protectingspecies #wildtierhaltung #tierbestand #bestandszählung #inventur #tierinventur

🔥 Dass der Feuersalamander an vielen Orten bedroht ist, hat man eventuell schon mitbekommen. Neben den Herausforderungen durch Veränderungen geeigneter Habitate, die viele Arten betreffen, setzt ihm vor allem in vielen Gegenden auch ein Pilz zu, der auch als Salamanderfresser bezeichnet wird. Dieser Pilz, wissenschaftlich abgekürzt als Bsal, breitet sich kontinuierlich immer weiter aus. Höchste Zeit daher etwas pro-aktiv für den Schutz des Feuersalamanders zu tun bevor es zu spät ist und den Alpensalamander dabei gleich mitzudenken! ➡️ Gemeinsam mit weiteren Partner*innen laden wir daher zahlreiche Expert*innen zu einem Symposium und zur Schaffung eines bundesweiten Netzwerks Mitte April in den Erlebnis-Zoo nach Hannover ein. 🏁 Ziel ist es sich über aktuelle Themen zu beiden Arten auszutauschen, aber auch schon zu schauen, welche Kapazitäten es zum langfristigen Schutz gibt und wie die zahlreichen bereits bestehenden Bestrebungen unter dem Schirm von „Feuersalamander.NET“ koordiniert werden können. * You may already be aware that the fire salamander is endangered in many places. In addition to the challenges posed by changes to suitable habitats, which affect many species, a fungus, also known as the salamander eater, is also affecting it, particularly in many areas. It is therefore high time to do something proactive to protect the fire salamander before it is too late and to think about the Alpine salamander at the same time! Together with other partners, we are therefore inviting numerous experts to a symposium and the creation of a nationwide network in mid-April at the Adventure Zoo in Hanover. The aim is to discuss current issues relating to both species, but also to look at what capacities exist for long-term protection and how the numerous existing efforts can be coordinated under the umbrella of "Feuersalamander.NET". 📸 Bildagentur Zoonar GmbH, Shutterstock 📸 rtbilder, Shutterstock #feuersalamander #alpensalamander #salamander #artenschutz #artenvielfalt #ProtectingSpecies #biodiversität #conservation #protectingspecies #firesalamander #salamandrasalamandra #salamandraatra #alpinesalamander
Those who call London's rivers home, need your help ❤ London’s rivers are home to an amazing array of wildlife, including the endangered water vole and critically endangered European eel. But rivers in the UK are currently suffering from intense pressures from various sources of pollution - and need our help to recover. We are looking for eager citizen scientists to join the 2024 outfall safari programme, to help combat the water pollution crisis in our rivers. A lesser known yet widespread source of this type of pollution is caused by cross connections, misconnections, poorly designed assets and blockages, which cause sewage to be discharged into rivers via surface water outfalls. The Outfall Safari Citizen Science programme is used to identify and score outfalls along rivers, so that they can be fed to Thames Water for remediation. Can you spare a few hours of your time to help us? Find out more at zsl.org/volunteer #OutfallSafari #LondonsRivers #StopPollution #ProtectingSpecies #NativeWildlife #JoeLycettVsSewage #StopSewagePollution #StopPollution #VolunteerInLondon We have multiple opportunities for you to get involved, so please follow the links for more details on the Outfall Safari near you.

Und es ist ... ein Gecko! Das “@ZootierdesJahres” wurde heute im Kölner Zoo bekanntgegeben. Die Wahl der Aktion unserer Partner vom Verband der Zoologischen Gärten (VdZ), der Zoologische Gesellschaft für Arten- und Populationsschutz e.V. - ZGAP, der Deutsche Tierpark-Gesellschaft e.V. (DTG) sowie der Gemeinschaft der Zooförderer fiel in diesem Jahr auf die Echsengruppe der Geckos. Von ihren mehr als tausend Arten sind viele gefährdet. Im besonderen Fokus der Kampagne stehen die vietnamesischen Tigergeckos der Gattung Goniurosaurus. Einer von ihnen ist der Huu-Lien-Tigergecko, der sogar vom “Aussterben bedroht” ist. Deshalb baut Citizen Conservation in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kölner Zoo nun ein Erhaltungszuchtprogramm für diese Art auf. Die ersten Tiere werden schon in den kommenden Wochen in die Terrarien von CC-Teilnehmenden wandern und dort hoffentlich den Grundstock für eine gesunde Ex-situ-Population bilden. Und mit dem Mauritius-Taggecko (Phelsuma guimbeaui) haben wir sogar noch eine zweite Gecko-Art neu in unser Programm aufgenommen, die ebenfalls vom Aussterben bedroht ist. #zootierdesjahres #zootierdesjahres2024 #gecko #geckosofvietnamn #geckosofmauritius #tigergecko #geckolovers #geckohaltung #wildtierhaltung #haltungrettetarten #artenschutz #terraristik #artenvielfalt #biodiversität #conservation #breeding #protectingspecies

Paperwork saves wildlife in Peru Recently, our partners in Peru submitted the paperwork to register the two new community protected areas with the government. Registration is a major step forward for these communities to protect their forests and wildlife. It gives them the rights to manage their land and resources sustainably. But the process of registering is complex and time-consuming. It requires an inventory of the natural resources in the area, a socio-economic survey, and a financial plan. The communities can't do this without support. #communityconservation #primates #protecting species #protectingspecies #biodiversityconservation #conservationmatters

Meet the species whose fate has today been reversed 👏 The scimitar horned oryx, also called the Sahara oryx, was once widespread across North Africa, but in the 1980’s the population began to plummet - largely due to the antelopes being hunted for their horns and meat. In 2000, the species was declared Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN Red List. Today, thanks to a conservation partnership coordinated by @environmentabudhabi which we support, its fate has been reversed – making these the first species from our Extinct in the Wild global initiative to be downlisted.

🚨 Dangerous levels of banned chemicals in UK-stranded marine mammals 🚨 Data collected over 30 years from one of the world’s largest marine mammal toxicology datasets shows alarming concentrations of banned chemicals in orcas, bottlenose dolphins, and white-beaked dolphins – jeopardising their health 🐬 Levels of banned chemicals in orcas are 30 times over the toxic threshold! Urgent action is needed now to protect our ocean 🐋 We're still cleaning up the mess of historic pollutants - we need to act now, learn from our past mistakes, and employ stronger, science-backed measures to curb pollution Together we can tackle the profound impact that chemical pollution continues to have on marine life 🌍 The data was collected by our Cetacean Stranding Investigation Programme – which investigates strandings of marine mammals, marine turtles and sharks around the English and Welsh coast to understand the threats they face 📞 You can help our scientists by reporting any strandings to 0800 652 0333 #Wildlife #ProtectingSpecies #UKWildlife #Conservation #OceanWildlife #MarineLife
Greater flamingos eat themselves pink. The colour of their feathers is a side effect of their diet. They stand on one leg to keep the other one from getting chilly. If you see them on a hot day both pins will be out.

If a chimp is tearing a leaf with its teeth, it's probably flirting. Chimpanzees are genetically closer to humans than they are to gorillas - this naturally means they love hierarchy and politics. Males will patrol the borders of their territory and often beat up or even kill outsiders. But there's a little democracy in there too... ish. The leading male chimp actually needs popular support - without the votes, he's outta there. Just like us chimps also love to relax, play, and eat! And they actually have better memory than we do, outperforming humans in short-term recall tests.

THE HERD ARE OUT AND ABOUT! 🐘🐘 ‘Walking with Elephants’, Julia Cassels @juliacasselsart solo exhibition, is now previewing and today we’d like to show you two beautiful original pieces in her collection (close-ups of both paintings in the extra photos 😊). The paintings are from her sketches drawn whilst out in Zambia visiting @game_rangers_international (GRI), who Julia is kindly supporting with her artwork. ‘At the Water’s Edge’ Original Watercolour 34 x 38cms £650 ‘Batoka’ Original Walnut Ink 32 x 42cms £425 A little about Batoka.....Found alone and emaciated on an island in Zambia’s Zambezi River at roughly 1 ½ years old, Batoka was rescued through collaboration between GRI and Zambia's Department of National Parks and Wildlife, before being taken to the rescue facility, which at that time was in Kafue National Park. Possibly suffering with post-traumatic stress, Batoka found it difficult to integrate with the herd. Eventually however, after several years of care, feeling safe in his environment and gaining social skills, he befriended elephants including Tafika and Chamilandu. Batoka's bond with Chamilandu grew strong enough for them to venture out at night together independently, but in 2020 he left the facility of his own accord, with the confidence and social ability to live in the wild as elephants should do. Despite his traumatic start in life, Batoka’s story is a true testament to the power of rehabilitation and positive impact that dedicated individuals and organizations like GRI can have on the lives of this vulnerable species. The whole exhibition can be seen on our website www.artistsforpainteddogs.com (direct link in our bio) and Julia’s Hampshire based, UK studio can be visited to see these very pieces and the other herd members she has painted. Please message Julia directly for information and details. The exhibition is previewing until Thursday, 23rd Nov 6pm GMT, when the site will open for sales and is on until Sunday, 3rd Dec. Please do come and meet the herd with us! ❤️
#DYK the northern cardinal is the state bird of 7 states? That's a lot of cardinal cred! 🐦 A common sight across North America, identified by their bright red plumage, check out these fun facts about these unique North American songbirds: 🐦They mate for life & work together to raise their young. 🐦Their song sounds like “birdie, birdie, birdie” or “cheer, cheer, cheer.” 🐦Cardinals molt at least once a year to replenish damaged feathers. During this process, they lose some or all of their feathers for a couple of weeks. 🐦They're highly intelligent - known for their problem-solving skills & ability to learn new things. . . . #NorthAmericanSongbirdSAFE @safesongbirds #cardinal #northerncardinal #songbird #birds #birdstgram #birdsofnorthamerica #birdwatching #protectingspecies #rwpzoo
Don’t miss Planet Earth III this week - Sunday at 6.15pm on @bbc One! 🌍 Our vital conservation work with Tsaobis baboons is included in this spectacular episode ✨ David Attenborough explores deserts and grasslands, where extraordinary life survives in unexpected ways, and nature puts on its most dramatic show. In the baked Namib desert, a pair of ostriches raise their family in the searing heat to keep them safe from predators – but time is ticking as the chicks begin to hatch. Outside the egg, the new-borns won’t survive long in these temperatures, but not all of the clutch hatch at once; tragically, the parents are forced to leave behind an unhatched egg. As the family departs, a new-born emerges and the lone chick wanders the vast Namib desert calling for its family. In the desert, life exists in a world with almost no water, which drives one troop of desert baboons on a continual quest to find it. A young mother who is low in the pecking order must battle for her right to drink, as without water her milk will run dry and her new-born will not survive. Where rain falls regularly, it can transform a desert into grassland. Grasslands support the biggest concentrations of terrestrial large animals on the planet, and this wealth of life in turn attracts predators. #PlanetEarth3 #ZSL #ZSLScience #ProtectingSpecies #SirDavidAttenborough #BBCOne #IPlayer #conservation

Meet the Tufted Titmouse 🐦These little feathered friends are commonly seen throughout the year in eastern forests. You may even recognize it’s familiar “peter-peter-peter” song. This common backyard songbird can be seen hoarding food in fall and winter. Have you seen any at your feeders? #SongbirdSAFE TIP: As the sun sets earlier, songbirds are flying overhead. They need our help. Artificial lights disorient them. Turn off unnecessary lights at night and reduce light pollution. Your RWPZoo is proud to be a part of the AZA Saving Animals From Extinction North American Songbirds program which aims to reduce the threats to songbirds and secure sustainable wild populations of these species throughout their ranges. . . . #tuftedtitmouse #songbird #birds #birdstgram #birdsofnorthamerica #birdwatching #protectingspecies #rwpzoo

A dazzle of Grévy’s zebras, nature’s black-and-white masterpiece! 📸@marcuswestbergphotography #LewaWildlifeConservancy #Conservation #ProtectingSpecies #Wildlife
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, nestled north of the Equator, serves as a model and catalyst for wildlife conservation. This is done through species protection, community programmes, and education of neighbouring communities about the value of wildlife. Over the past 30 years, our efforts have rejuvenated the black rhino population and fostered a thriving ecosystem, benefiting various endangered species like elephants and Grevy’s zebras. Our dream is a harmonious future where Kenyan communities and wildlife thrive together. To turn this vision into reality, we passionately invest in education, healthcare, sustainable agriculture, and water access, empowering our neighbours and cultivating a brighter tomorrow! 📸@nuraymadiyevab #LewaWildlifeConservancy #Conservation #ProtectingSpecies #Wildlife #Education #CommunityEmpowerment #SustainableAgriculture #Kenya

Today marks the launch of the State of Nature report 🐝🐦 This report is a gargantuan joint effort that represents the work of a great many experts, volunteers and organisations coming together. It's a critical accountability moment, bringing data together from over 60 research and conservation organisations to create the most comprehensive report of UK nature. It's a 'health check' for UK nature - and the diagnosis is not good: 💥 1 in 6 species in Great Britain are at risk of being lost forever 💥 Among the species at risk, hazel dormice, turtle doves and European eels now face uncertain futures 💥 British wildlife has declined by 19% since monitoring began in the 70's But hope is not lost - although the longer we take to take meaningful action, the harder it will be to reverse the ongoing decline. When we join together, everything is possible - by putting nature at the heart of decision-making, we can build a better world for us now and our children in years to come. This approach is vital to tackle climate change and help create a world where people and wildlife can thrive.

👻Ocypode cursor conosciuto comunemente come “granchio fantasma”, deve l’appellativo alle sue abitudini prettamente notturne. 🕳️Durante il giorno scava buchi nella sabbia, che abbandona per cacciare non appena cala il tramonto. 🐢Si ciba di pesci, molluschi, insetti, carcasse, piccoli rettili, ma anche di uova e piccole tartarughe appena uscite dal guscio. 🎨Inoltre, questo granchio è in grado di mettere in scena tecniche di camuffamento davvero uniche, cambiando colore durante i diversi momenti della giornata: al mattino appare più chiaro e luminoso mentre alla sera il colore vira sui toni del nero. 📍La specie è presente lungo le coste atlantiche dell'Africa occidentale e nel Mar Mediterraneo, soprattutto nel bacino orientale. Tuttavia, le osservazioni sulla distribuzione della specie in relazione alle segnalazioni degli ultimi decenni, mostrano come il granchio abbia avuto un'espansione da Oriente verso il settore occidentale della Sicilia, diventando stabile lungo le coste del Mediterraneo centrale. 🌡️Una recente pubblicazione scientifica dimostra che l'espanzione verso il settore occidentale della Sicilia è da considerarsi del tutto naturale e probabilmente legata alla tropicalizzazione del Mediterraneo: sulle coste siciliane l’acqua è sempre più calda favorendo l’inserimento di specie alloctone. 🙅🏻♀️È innocuo per l’uomo, al quale è vietato ucciderlo. Si tratta infatti di una specie protetta inclusa nella “List of Endangered or Threatened Species” della Convenzione per la Protezione dell’Ambiente Marino e delle Regioni Costiere del Mediterraneo (Barcelona Convention 1995) e nella successiva Convenzione Europea per la Conservazione della Natura e degli Habitat Naturali della Convenzione di Berna (Bern Convention 1996–98). #crab #granchio #ghost #ghostcrab #sicily #mediterranean #globalwarming #temperature #globalchange #thereisnoplanetb #natgeo #nature #sea #mediterranenasea #ocean #alloctonspecies #biodivetsity #marine #matinebiology #study #wildanimals #wildlife #wildnature #predator #speaces #protectingspecies

Vultures in the sky can be a sign that poachers are at work below 🪶 As a result, they are often targeted by illegal hunters in the wild. We are working to reduce this threat and restore this endangered species in the wild. Vultures are also vital to the health of the wider ecosystem. As they devour carcasses, their strong stomachs can break down diseases including anthrax and botulism. This #InternationalVultureAwarenessDay, please join us in celebrating this amazing species! #IVAD2023 #Conservation #ProtectingSpecies #Vultures #BirdsOfIG #Birdstagram
