Résumé :
|
In the most comprehensive assessment of its kind, 4,989 African freshwater species were assessed by close to 200 scientists over a six year period for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, including all described species of freshwater fish, molluscs, crabs, dragonflies and damselflies, and selected families of aquatic plants. The findings from this new study give us a unique opportunity to try to influence developers and governments when they are planning freshwater infrastructure projects, which are still in their early stages in most of Africa.
