action supports animal as the main sponsor of "reptile of the year 2011" the DGHT
Berlin / Rhine river (near Bonn), 6/12/2010. The German Society for Herpetology and Herpetoculture (DGHT), the wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) declared a reptile of 2011. "We are pleased that the DGHT brochures and Fyer informed of the wall lizard and thus contributes to the protection of this locally in its stock declining reptile," said Ursula Bauer action animal of Berlin. "Since action animal through information and education of the population achieved a major purpose of the constitution, we support the 'reptile of 2011" as a main sponsor, "adds the biologist.
The 20 cm long, heavily protected Wall lizard is a diurnal, sun-loving species "in the wake of the people" who inhabited mainly man-made habitats such as vineyards, quarries and tracks, in the warm south-west Germany. "Works precisely because of the strong bond of anthropogenic habitats, the loss of these habitats, for example, of abandonment and intensification of viticulture, and the reconstruction of stone walls or construction projects on abandoned railway tracks a negative impact on local stocks," says the DGHT managing director Silvia Macina. In the Red List of Vertebrates of Germany is therefore the way out, despite their amazing adaptability in the "early warning" - While on the other hand, the many places imported and expanding populations, whose genetic origin is in southern Europe, may be a problem for nature conservation.
