About us
As freshwater carves its way towards the ocean and collects in natural basins it creates some of the most diverse habitats on the planet. Rivers, lakes and wetlands cover less than 1% of Earth’s surface yet are home to 12% of all known species. This wealth of life is at risk of being lost. Compounding threats such as pollution, overexploitation, habitat loss and invasive species introductions are, in decades, rapidly altering the conditions to which freshwater species have adapted over many millennia. Rivers, lakes and wetlands are already considered to have an extinction rate four to six times higher than marine or terrestrial environments. Amongst the most threatened groups of freshwater species are fish. Of some 15,000 species of freshwater fish approximately one in three are threatened with extinction. Without conservation action it is clear that many of these species will be lost from our planet forever.

The age-old issue facing freshwaters: they're treated as resources to exploit, rather than fragile ecosystems essential to life. Turning the Paraguay River into an industrial shipping route would be devastating to the rich biodiversity of the Pantanal. “It seems a high price to pay: destroying the Pantanal, one of the world’s unique systems, to reduce the price of grain. It is a war – a war which risks extinction.” https://lnkd.in/ehEDzrwW

Partner update! 📢 SHOAL-ASAP small grant partners Airlangga University - Faculty of Fisheries and Marine are carrying out a reintroduction programme to restore wild populations of the stunning Betta burdigala, which are threatened by habitat fragmentation and deforestation. The small wine-red fish, takes its name from Bordeaux in France. The Critically Endangered species is highly range-restricted and can only live in ancient forests, shade, and black water on the island of Bangka, Indonesia. Airlangga University, through the SHOAL-ASAP programme, are giving it a much-needed shot at survival. In this photo, Veryl Hasan collects a live specimen to help restock the species in other wild locations.
