🐟 "In situ" conservation project in Jalapa del Valle, Oaxaca 🇲🇽

Last Sunday, April 21, the members of the Oaxaca Endemic Fish Conservation Initiative, together with members of the Ejidal Commissariat and Surveillance Council of Jalapa del Valle, took a tour of the stream where a population of Profundulus oaxacae or Oaxacan Escamudo lives. .

🤝Excess sand and sediment were removed from two pools that had very low water levels. For this purpose, the fish were captured and later released. During this process, the members of the ejidal authority were taught how to identify the Oaxacan killifish. of the wild mollies with which they cohabit.

🌳 We jointly reviewed the situation of the trees that were planted last year, given the serious drought situation that we have been going through, thanks to the assisted irrigation that they have been provided, there are still several alive.

🆘The Ejidal authorities request support to continue their work, which undoubtedly not only benefits the conservation of Profundulus oaxacae, but also all the processes that are generated in these important water recharge areas.

🙏We continue forward in the conservation of the endemic fish of Oaxaca.
