Abstract
First records of the West African torpedo in Cabo Verde Archipelago, eastern Atlantic
Highlights
The Critically Endangered dragonfly Libellula angelina, known as the bekko tombo, of central and northern China, Japan, western South Korea, and North Korea, was common before but has declined dramatically as a result of habitat loss caused by urbanization
In China, natural ponds and wetland parks have facilitated the survival of this species in megacities such as Beijing and Tianjin, but habitat degeneration in some cities appears to be resulting in further decline of the species
The bekko tombo was commonly seen in these two areas in spring
Summary
This new facility will support ongoing efforts to conserve and restore the nesting beach population of hawksbill turtles that formerly existed along this coast. The Critically Endangered dragonfly Libellula angelina, known as the bekko tombo, of central and northern China, Japan, western South Korea, and North Korea, was common before but has declined dramatically as a result of habitat loss caused by urbanization. Urbanization and habitat degradation, accompanied by reclamation, drought, contamination, sediment dredging, mowing of reeds and shrinkage of wetlands, are driving the collapse of the remaining populations of the bekko tombo.
