Ik heb zelf een workshop gedaan basiskwaliteit natuur maar bij de tweede ronde zie ik Verian Klarus van #iucn uitleggen hoe de Biodiversity metric van Eneco in elkaar zit. Nulmeting, negatieve impact waarderen, herstelpotentie in beeld brengen, meten.

The #frog #Pristimantis #esmeraldas (#Strabomantidae) is listed as "Least Concern" on the #IUCN List of #Threatened #Species; however, it faces threats from #agriculture/#deforestation within its habitats in Ecuador/Colombia. Like all Strabomantidae, it is #livebearing. With 626 known species, this genus is the most #speciose of any #vertebrates. #Biodiversity

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦛🍞 Pygmy #hippo Brötchen ("breadroll") was born May 9th at #Zoo #Berlin, a compact 6 kilos (~13 lbs) with skin oils that double as natural sunscreen.

She explores the outdoor enclosure with mother Debbie, while her wild relatives in #WestAfrica face #mining and #deforestation threats. Fewer than 2,500 adults remain.

In unserem letzten #Blog gaben wir dem #Vulkankaninchen eine Bühne.
Auf der #IUCN Red List als gefährdet eingestuft, hoppelt es über Stock und Stein der Vulkanlandschaften von Iztaccíhuatl und Popocatépetl nahe Mexico-City. Wenn es nicht gerade mit Quietschen beschäftigt ist …
Kathleen Gransalke hat für euch eine Menge interessanter Fakten zu #Entdeckung, #Aussehen, #Ernährung und #Lebensraum zusammengestellt: https://www.laborjournal.de/blog/

Dazu kommen unzählige weitere Organisationen für Frieden, Entwicklung und Natur. Es braucht eine internationale Gegenwelt zu Trump und #Putin - vor allem mit Brasilien, China und Indien.

Things haven’t looked good for the #vaquita for decades, but the last few years have brought the species to the #BrinkOfExtinction . #Endemic & #exclusive to the upper #GulfOfCalifornia - the pint-size #porpoise has become an unfortunate bycatch of fishing operations in the area, primarily the illegal catching of #totoaba . 
Listed as #Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature

Picked up this pair of plains zebra foraging among the prickly pear on one of our #CameraTraps

The plains zebra has much thicker stripes than the Grevy's zebra, which we also see. Another ID tip is that plains zebra have stripes on their belly, while Grevy's have a white belly.

The plains zebra is not as #endangered as the Grevy's zebra, but is still listed as #NearThreatened by the #IUCN
