Spotting eels in the wild is always a special treat - it's shocking when you think how common they once were though. Happily, there is hope. Although we still don't fully understand their lifecycle. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The banded demoiselle is very sensitive to pollution and an excellent indicator of water quality. Reliant on slow moving waterbodies, especially where the riverbed is muddy, their habitat is vulnerable to development and climate change. 📷 C.Englezou | Freshwater Life Project

Finally we see a dialogue about the #conservation of riverine habitats in the mainstream! (no pun intended). To say we are looking forward to this would be an understatement. #Freshwater ecosystems have been in need of a voice for a long time. Thank you, Charlotte Church

I'm looking for some probably grey literature on the size of membership of conservation NGOs in countries around the world. E.g. I know UK based RSPB are huge, and WCS in the US. But has anyone collated this?

#Rivercide goes live TONIGHT. Our ecology team have been talking about little else the last few days. From the UK, USA, Cyprus, Brunei, Germany, France & Ireland we'll all be watching. #freshwater #rivers #conservation #pollution

By pure chance, there was some quiet ambient music playing on my laptop while I watched this and it was a great fit! Lovely footage of the UK underwater.

Reptiles and amphibians bridge the aquatic and terrestrial worlds, being indicators about the health of both. Sadly, as freshwater habitats disappear, so too do these remarkable creatures - often they’re among the first to struggle with major changes to their environments.

Our monograph on diversity, distribution and conservation of fish in the perialpine lakes of Europe is out. It is a synthesis of our work on 35 lakes between 2010 and 2020. eawag.ch/en/news-agenda…

Pets, furry and finned, help us build relationships with animals. Aquariums allow nature - rarely observed by most - to exist in our homes, fostering appreciation for these ecosystems and their animals. #flp #freshwaterlifeproject #freshwater #conservation #pets #petday

Shrimps play a vital role in ecosystems and society, being an important food item in both circles as well as providing a number of useful ecosystem services. Shrimp occur in freshwater on every continent, so take a second to appreciate your local hard-working shrimp friends 🦐

In 2 days we'll be releasing a major report. 'Fantastic Freshwater: 50 landmark species for conservation' is the work of 70+ contributors from 21 IUCN SSC Specialist Groups and Red List Authorities to raise awareness of the wonders and threats to freshwater wildlife. Stay tuned!
