Ringstaartmaki's, wie kent ze niet? Maar lang niet iedereen weet dat deze diersoort bedreigd wordt in hun oorspronkelijke habitat! In #dierentuinen wordt er geld opgehaald om deze iconische diersoort voor de toekomst te behouden, maar het blijft niet bij geld. Er wordt namelijk ook veel onderzoek gedaan. Alle ringstaartmaki's in dierentuinen, aangesloten bij de Europese dierentuinvereniging, worden gemonitord middels een #stamboek en al die gegevens zijn recent geanalyseerd. In het wild is deze soort namelijk een soort waarbij jongen in een periode van enkele weken geboren worden binnen een groep. Dat blijkt niet het geval in dierentuinen waar geboortes veel meer verspreid over het jaar plaatsvinden. Deze uitkomst geeft aan dat deze soort flexibeler is dan gedacht en dat geeft hoop voor de overleving van de soort in het wild, waar omstandigheden en bedreigingen nogal verschillen. #HoeDierentuinenHelpen #HowZoosHelp #SavingSpeciesTogether Meer lezen over dit onderzoek? https://lnkd.in/dwSRKTEF #ZooResearch #ZooConservation #ZooScience European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) Caterina Spiezio Species360 Elmar Fienieg #EEP #zoo #zoos #dierentuin #endangeredspecies #bedreigdediersoort #PopulationManagement
