Wonderfull fact cards of freshwater species
To illustrate the research knowledge of freshwater species, scientists from IGB and the Alliance for Freshwater Life have developed fact cards. Impressive insights about 20 freshwater species are available in a beautiful design.
The portraits spotlight species that are normally inconspicuous as they often live below the water surface or in remote regions and are therefore all too often forgotten when it comes to species conservation. The fact cards are a major contribution to increase the awareness of biodiversity under the surface of water.
Under the hashtag #FreshwaterFactCards you will find individual fact cards on Twitter with further information from studies, conservation programmes and the community. The ‘real’ cards can be picked up at one of our events – for instance at the SIL 2022 workshop “Alliance for Freshwater Life: developing a network strategy and roadmap of activities”.
