Russian Desman

 RUSSIAN DESMAN


Animal: Russian Desman


Class: Mammalia (Mammal)


Species: Desmana moschata


Status: Endangered


Population Trend: Decreasing


The Russian Desman is more or less what you'd get if you imagined crossing a platypus with a mole, and then gave it eyes that looked perpetually ally shocked. This semiaquatic native to Kazakh- stan, Russia, and maybe even Ukraine, spends its days messing around in whatever floodplains it can find its way into! As of right now, only about eight thousand to ten thousand desmans are still wildin' out in these areas, classifying them as Endangered.


Dreading Droughts


Since around the early twentieth century, these bizarre little furballs have been steadily decreasing because of land reclamation, construction  and poaching. Not to mention A LOT of droughts, which have really ruined the desman's day. This desman lives in an ambient temperature that drastically changes from season to season, so they're pretty good at adapting, but still an increase in droughts and lack of floods? No thank you! The Russian Desman has no interest in living or reproducing, for that


matter in dry, warm places where the water is drying up and shallow!


Saving the Desman


As for conservation efforts, the only thing really helping these guys out is their Status 2 listing in the Red Data Book of the Russia Federation, which indicates their population is going down. This status makes hunting them illegal and designates some protected spots just for them! In the middle of the last century, a giant-scale reacclimatization returning the animals to a habitat where they once lived but then disappeared from for the desman was carried out. The desman was also released into new but similar habitats to acclimate there.


In the 1990s, Russian politics shifted direction and environmental issues were sadly shoved to the side. Poaching picked up again, and des mans suffered as a consequence. Today, poaching has mostly been shut down. The main issue the Russian Desman faces now is rising temperatures as a result of climate cmateria

The European Pond Turtle spends its days just hanging at the pond, lounging on rocks, and basking in the warm glow of the western Palearctic sun. It helps itself to a buffet-style assortment of insects, frogs, and fishes when it's in the mood for a snack, and then goes and basks on another rock.


A Pet Threat


Not everything has been all sunshine and rainbows for this little turtle, though it faces a plethora of threats, including hunting, and because of the gorgeous yellow flecks on its body, the European Pond Turtle has become an unfor- tunate target of the European pet trade.


Protecting Their Ponds


The European Pond Turtle is legally protected, and conservation efforts have popped up all over Europe. In Hungary in 2002, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) launched a turtle protection pro- gram that conducted regular habitat surveys and went into schools to raise awareness of the Near Threatened turtle. Germany has also gotten in on the action by focusing on long-term conservation in Brandenburg, and a reintroduction program has been started in Frankfurt.


So far, the most successful attempt to save the European Pond Turtle has been France's reintroduction program. Between 2000 and 2002, France managed to release thirty-five adult European Pond Turtles into Lake Bourget , Savoie. The majority of these turtles survived and went on to make some quaint and incredibly homey nests.


Significant Nutrient Recyclers


Back in the day, turtle populations thrived in droves, and they were architects in their environment Ron mentis. Because there were so many of them, European Pond Turtles played a huge role in reworking soils and pond floors, and dispersing seeds and other nutrients all over their habitats. The gradual decline of the European Pond Turtle means they haven't been able to play their ecological ical roles to the same extent. In turn, the ponds, lakes, and streams they live in are-sigh-not nearly as biodiverse as they once were.

THE Afghan Taliban’s and girls education

No Education for girls in afghanistan   THE Afghan Taliban’s announcement of the indefinite closure of girls’ schools just two days after their education ministry released a congratulatory video is both disappointing and deeply concerning. On March 21, the Taliban said they would lift a seven-month-old de facto ban on girls’ education from Class 6 onwards and reopen schools on the first day of Afghanistan’s new academic year. Two days later, the Taliban backtracked, saying they were putting in place policies compliant with the “principles of Islamic law and Afghan culture”. One report said the education ministry was facing a shortage of teachers, following the exodus of thousands of Afghans, many among them trained teachers, after the Taliban’s triumphant march into Kabul last August. A senior Taliban figure said the schools would be reopened after a “standardised uniform” for girls was introduced that reflected the Afghan culture. But there was also a report suggesting deep divisions
