"A global agenda for advancing freshwater #biodiversity research" led by Alain Massri & @SCJaehnig with 94 #freshwater scientists from 38 countries across the globe

A thread about what we have to say
1/
ALT Abstract Global freshwater biodiversity is declining dramatically, and meeting the challenges of this crisis requires bold goals and the mobilisation of substantial resources. While the reasons are varied, investments in both research and conservation of freshwater biodiversity lag far behind those in the terrestrial and marine realms. Inspired by a global consultation, we identify 15 pressing priority needs, grouped into five research areas, in an effort to support informed stewardship of freshwater biodiversity. The proposed agenda aims to advance freshwater biodiversity research globally as a critical step in improving coordinated actions towards its sustainable management and conservation. KEYWORDS data infrastructure, ecology, freshwater biodiversity crisis, freshwaters, management, monitoring, research priorities, social ecology

Scientists have definitive proof that ghosts exist!👻
But this is no phantom, and no horror story: the Critically Endangered Giant Salmon Carp – the Mekong Ghost – has been recorded for the first time since 2005 signalling fresh hope for the Mekong region

Amazonian fishes present a seemingly endless array of spectacular ecological traits.
The mouth of the Silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) has many job - mouth brooding, aquatic surface respiration, and catching winged insects in the air - fantastic shot by Goh Poh Leong.
Very excited that a #freshwaterlife motif made the top spot in this year's @NHM_WPY competition 🐸Congratulations @ShaneGrossPhoto 🙌 /gk

🌍 Conservation success in Madagascar! The Bemanevika Wetland Complex has helped save the once-thought-extinct Madagascar Pochard.🦆
Community-led efforts and @peregrinefund
have shown that hope and perseverance can restore wetland ecosystems.

Wetland conservation and restoration is an essential component of delivering the #BiodiversityPlan vision of a world living in harmony with nature where by 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used.

When macrophytes grow in large numbers, they are often removed. Study in @SciTotEnv led by @NIVAforskning with @LeibnizIGB showed for 6 freshwater systems in 5 countries that the "do nothing" option should be considered when dealing with aquatic plants 👉igb-berlin.de/en/news/managi…

Aonyx cinereus, the Asian small-clawed otter is a vulnerable species according to the last @IUCNRedList assessment in 2015. Major threats are poaching for fur trade, illegal harvesting for the pet market and habitat loss. #WorldOtterDay #freshwaterlife
