This critically endangered spider species is one of the smallest known at only 0.43-0.57mm. It is found in only four caves in Portugal and is threatened by limestone quarrying which has already destroyed 20% of its habitat. Unless protective measures are implemented, such as enforcing minimum distances for quarries and regulating tourism, the species is at high risk of extinction due to habitat loss and changes to the caves' microclimates.

Beavers are known for building dams, canals, and lodges out of wood and other plant materials. They are semi-aquatic rodents that use powerful front teeth to cut wood to build these structures for shelter and transportation of materials. By constructing dams, beavers create deep ponds that provide protection and allow them to float building materials.Parque Natural da Arr叩bidaPedro Peixoto

The leatherback turtle is critically endangered and listed on the IUCN Red List. It is the largest sea turtle and can be found in over 70 countries. The harvesting of eggs on beaches and ocean pollution from plastic waste are major threats. If extreme measures are not taken to limit pollution and reform fishing practices, these unique deep-diving turtles that have inhabited our oceans for over 100 million years may become extinct. International cooperation is needed to prevent the extinction of this migratory species.Cachalote

This study tested the use of photographic mark-recapture techniques to estimate the population of Nile crocodiles at Sunset Dam in Kruger National Park. Researchers photographed and identified individual crocodiles based on unique patterns on their tails over four days. Applying mark-recapture models, they found the population size was accurately estimated and that mornings yielded more visible crocodiles than afternoons. The non-invasive photographic method provides a better technique for monitoring crocodile populations than methods requiring handling or tagging.Birdwatcher

This document summarizes a study of soil macro invertebrates in Bagrot Valley within the Central Karakoram National Park in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Over 8,600 invertebrates from 6 sites were collected using pitfall traps, manual collection, and Malaise traps. The sites varied in composition, with the harshest sites near glaciers dominated by beetles and the forested sites containing more diverse taxa. Overall, beetles made up over 50% of collected invertebrates. The study found low diversity, which the author attributes to the harsh environment near glaciers and human exploitation of forested areas.Species Diversity of Mangroves in Catarman, Northern Samar

Tardigrades, also known as water bears or moss piglets, are microscopic animals that are considered the strongest on Earth. They can survive extreme conditions such as being dehydrated and losing 99% of their body water, extreme temperatures and pressures, radiation doses that would kill humans, and even the vacuum of outer space. Their resilience comes from their ability to enter a suspended metabolic state when conditions are harsh and then rehydrate and return to normal when conditions improve. They can also efficiently repair DNA damage from radiation through specialized repair enzymes or by wrapping up their DNA.Intro to Corals

The document provides information on threats facing coral islands. It discusses how climate change is causing coral bleaching and death as ocean temperatures rise. Overfishing disrupts ecosystems by removing too many fish. Pollution from sewage, chemicals and sedimentation harms corals by reducing water quality and smothering reefs. Uncontrolled tourism damages reefs through activities like walking on coral, collecting specimens, boat anchors damaging reefs, and untreated sewage from hotels polluting the ocean. These threats endanger the fragile coral ecosystems that many species depend on.Martinezbeccabio102

Wetlands are diverse ecosystems that provide many benefits but are under threat. They include marshes, mangroves, and other areas that are periodically flooded. Mangroves in particular stabilize coastlines, provide habitat for fish and crustaceans, and sequester large amounts of carbon. However, mangroves have been cleared for development and degraded by pollution, with losses occurring three to four times faster than inland forests. To help protect these important ecosystems, further destruction of remaining wetlands must be prevented.Mangrove ecosystem

Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that grow in intertidal coastal saline habitats. They play an important ecological role by stabilizing coastlines, providing habitat for many species, and contributing to high primary productivity through complex detrital food webs. Mangroves exhibit various adaptations to survive in their habitat, such as aerial roots, salt excretion, and viviparous reproduction. They support a diverse range of wildlife and are an important resource for human uses including food, medicine, and timber.8 New Wonders

The Iberian lynx is a critically endangered cat species found only in Spain and Portugal. It resembles other lynx species with spots and short tails. Its main threat is lack of its primary prey, rabbits, due to disease and hunting, which has caused population declines. Conservation efforts focus on preserving the remaining populations and habitats through protection, breeding programs, and reintroductions.掘恰岳庄稼巽達看1Maria Teresa Faia

Anapistula
- 1. Description category description Latin name: Anapistula ataecina Common Name: Aranha cavern鱈cola do Frade (PT) Photo: Red List Category & Criteria: Critically Endangered CITES status: NO This is one of the smallest spiders described to date (female size of 0.43 to 0.57 mm). It is a troglobiont (cave-dwelling) species, only found in calcareous formations in areas with very restricted microhabitat characteristics. Although it is a Short species description: very small species, this spider can easily be seen in its web as it appears as a white spot dangling in mid-air; the web itself is invisible. Its tridimensional web, with a sheet-like structure, seems atypical for the family and for the genus. This spider is known from only four caves in the Frade cave Geographic Range: system, Sesimbra, Portugal. Range Map: ---- The species occurs inside a Nature Park, but despite that it is not adequately protected. Limestone quarries prevail in the Major Threat(s): area and these expand mostly without reliable environmental impact assessment studies prior to exploitation inside the protected area. Approximately 20% of the cave system
- 2. where the species is found has already been destroyed by nearby limestone quarries. Within this cave system and the limestone quarries lies the Gruta do Zambujal, a cave protected by national laws since 1979 (Decreto-Lei no. 140/79). A single visit to this cave did not reveal any individuals of Anapistula ataecina, even though the geological structure of this cave seems suitable for the species. Unfortunately, the cave is now much degraded. Changes in the internal microclimate caused by the exposure of the cave during mining activities may have caused the species to go locally extinct. In addition to quarrying activities, tourism may also have an impact on the species. The Portuguese Institute for Nature Conservation has recently authorized tourist activities inside Gruta do Fumo, where most specimens of this spider were found. This authorization was granted in the absence of any previous environmental impact assessment studies. Despite the cave system being located inside a Nature Park the stone quarries are expanding. Numerous conservation initiatives were proposed by a local speleology association, but these have not been implemented or authorized by the national authorities: 1. To force the limestone quarries to obey the existing laws imposing the minimum distance that any quarry Conservation Actions: should be from protected areas or the ocean (500 m). 2. To close Gruta do Zambujal in order to restore the natural air flow and microclimate. 3. To protect the cliffs opened by the limestone quarries surrounding Gruta do Zambujal from erosion and to guarantee their geological stability. 4. To establish and enforce strict guidelines for the future touristic visits to the Frade cave system.
