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/

#Siili voi muuttua lähtitulevaisuudessa uhanalaiseksi, toteaa Kansainvälisen luonnonsuojeluliiton #IUCN:n raportti. Liitto on muuttanut siilin uhanalaisuusluokituksen elinvoimaisesta silmälläpidettäväksi.

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
#IUCN #RedList of #ThreatenedSpecies
