The Importance of Documenting Biodiversity

Hey dear community, at the beginning I would like to welcome you all to my new contribution and hope you had a day that brought one or the other interesting experience into your life! In this article I would like to go into nature and I am happy if you can learn new things.

Many nature conservation organisations organise initiatives at regular intervals with the aim of documenting the population of insects, plants or other animals, which is important work for various reasons which absolutely should be supported. How nature is changing show regular numbers and there is a sharp decline in biodiversity and many species are threatened with extinction and the numbers are growing at a rapid pace. When certain plants become extinct or increasingly rare, a long chain has problems because many other organisms are dependent on it and in order to be able to observe these changes in the long term, it needs counts that must then be evaluated and documented. In addition to nature conservation organisation, there are numerous projects in research that have focussed specifically on this area and nowadays this work usually takes place on digital levels, which has the advantage that the data can be evaluated in seconds and people can easily submit counts of the stock from their region and the help of private individuals is a great relief to collect data about the stock worldwide. Most of the time, these counts take place at regular intervals, which makes long-term documentary work possible and here the species as well as location of the living being play a major role and especially with animals or plants that are extinct it can be particularly useful to trace their traces and protect the stock or accordingly adapt the red list that exists in some countries and has the goal of documenting endangered species. The counting of different species is probably one of the most important areas of research in today's time that help to protect the habitats and also show people how they have to work to preserve them and there are many manufacturers in different areas for whom these numbers are particularly important. It may be advisable to inform about initiatives in your country that are dependent on active counts and participate because the more people become aware of it, the better the stock and the changes can be documented.

Many thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about this topic! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
