Migratory animals face mass extinction – but as a conservationist I’m optimistic

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, February 15, 2024

Recognised threats to biodiversity include habitat loss and overexploitation but new analyses suggest that migratory species are faring particularly badly.

Key Points: 
  • Recognised threats to biodiversity include habitat loss and overexploitation but new analyses suggest that migratory species are faring particularly badly.
  • The global extinction risk is increasing for all migratory species.
  • I’m writing this in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, for the 14th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Migratory Species.

Status update

  • Worse still, they suggest that the extinction risk is increasing for all migratory species, including those not included under the convention.
  • Populations of fish included under the convention have declined on average by 90% since 1970.
  • Many species under the convention that need or would significantly benefit from international cooperation, are identified as high priorities for further conservation action based on their conservation status and biological vulnerability.
  • Understanding the scope and severity of these threats where they occur is therefore essential to informing conservation action, especially in the context of the triple planetary crises.

Effective action

  • There are various reasons why such agreements are not always as effective as they could be.
  • This has proven key to catalysing concerted conservation action for the saiga.
  • In the last 15 years, new knowledge of the saiga antelope’s ecology, migration and trade has been generated and effective anti-poaching measures have been implemented.
  • These include evaluating management approaches, sustainable use of the species, stockpile management, building the saiga conservation network and identifying key research needs along international supply chains.

Catalysing cross-border conservation

  • This landmark meeting has been positive and I’ve noticed a renewed sense of commitment to improve the conservation of migratory species.
  • Conservation measures should be context-specific, applied at relevant scales, and socially legitimate among local communities and Indigenous peoples if they are to be successful.
  • Renewed commitment to conservation solutions identified in this report could build political will to act together.

How Iran controls a network of armed groups to pursue its regional strategy

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, February 7, 2024

But when it did, it hit at least 85 targets across Iraq and Syria.

Key Points: 
  • But when it did, it hit at least 85 targets across Iraq and Syria.
  • The Pentagon was careful not to directly attack Iran itself, but it targeted Iranian-backed groups which have been conducting raids on US military assets in the region since before Hamas launched its attack on Israel on October 7.
  • But who are these groups that Iran can rely on to act in its interests and how much of a threat do they pose to regional security?
  • It wants to remove the US from the Middle East and to replace it as the guarantor of regional security.
  • And it refuses to recognise the state of Israel, instead working with Palestinian groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah to pressure the Jewish state.

Quds Force

  • The Quds Force is part of the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and is the IRGC’s primary vehicle for foreign affairs.
  • According to the Council on Foreign Relations, Quds is largely responsible for providing training, weapons, money and military advice to a range of groups in the so-called “Axis of Resistance”.

Syria

  • Quds activities in Syria are reportedly overseen by Khalil Zahedi, nicknamed Abu Mahdi al-Zahdi.
  • Iran’s principal aims in Syria are to keep the Assad regime in power, maximise Iranian influence, protect Shia minorities and reduce and – if possible – eliminate the US presence in Syria.

Iraq

  • In Iraq, since the US invasion, Iran-backed armed groups come under an umbrella organisation called the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) or Quwwāt al-Ḥashd ash-Shaʿbī.
  • The PMF claims to have as many as 230,000 fighters, mainly Shia.
  • The same year PMF’s political wing contested elections in Iraq, coming second in the poll.

Lebanon

  • Hezbollah (Party of God) was formed in 1982 to fight against the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
  • While heavily involved both politically and economically in Lebanon, Hezbollah is also active throughout the region, doing Iran’s business rather than looking after Lebanese interests.

Major headache for the west

  • Many of these groups now wield significant political influence in the countries in which they are embedded, so confronting them is not simply a military exercise.
  • And, as the dramatic rise in tensions in the region following the assault by Hamas on Israel (also planned with Iranian help) suggests, Iran is capable of fomenting trouble for the west almost at will across the region.
