Dear members and supporters of the Parosphromenus Project

Time flyes, and it is some time ago now that you heard from us. Specially now, in these very hard and trying time for all of us, due to the Corona Virus, we wish to extend our best wishes to everyone - what happens is something beyond anyones imagination, and even though for some of us it may mean more time at home - caring for fish - for many it is a time with extreme challenges, - please take care and be well.

In the PP indeed many things are happening. In many different directions, - it is very clear to us, that some important doors have opened, and work has begun, which takes long time to become established, but still hold really good promises for the time ahead.
Heres an overview of some of the interesting things that has happened in the last years time.
We hope you will enjoy reading.
Best Regards from The Parosphromenus Project Team
 
And dont forget - April Census is still coming up soon, we hope many of you will take part.

 
NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH ASAP

In Januar 2020 we   became official partner with the organisation ASAP - Species on the Brink
 An important step for The Project, helping us to work together with strong forces in conservation of Asian species.

       CONTINUING RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION INTO THE MOST THREATHENED SPECIES

 
          


The situation of P. alfredi has been in the focus for some time, and the fear of it being lost has been big. The habitat of Sedili is indeed destroyed, but investigations and research is ongoing, - and based on the findings of Wentian Shi, hopefully theres good news to be announced soon.

The PP is now actively engaged in two initiatives concerning P. alfredi, - one with Chester Zoo, working on a mandate from IUCN to

maintain insurance populations of the two species P. alfredi and P. tweediei

Another project underway is together with Shoal, The Parosphromenus Project and local Malaysian resouces - in which a first meeting took place in Singapore 5-6 february 2020

Conservation of Parosphromenus fishes and other peat swamp specialist fishes in Malaysia.

PAROSPHROMENUS DEISSNERI

     

Again we have to stress, that the situation of P. deissneri is catastrophic. This species from the indonesian island of Bangka face a very difficult future indeed.

In october 2019 Wentian Shi again visited this area, and the report from here is devastating. You can read this report by clicking the link.
The Parosphromenus Project, is right now, with the help of Chester Zoo, in  particular Andrea Swatman, head of the Aquarium Team, in dialogue with IUCN, in order to change the status of P. deissneri on the IUCN red list from endagered to critically endagered.

P. filamentosus - a new and careful check in Kalimantan Tengah, has given us knowledge that p. filamentosus is a species complex with great diversity in morpho and that it is widely distributed.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Chester Zoo is working on creating what is called 'HUSBANDRY GUIDELINES' for Zoos within EAZA. To create this, - best practice in keeping, breeding paros everyone is invited to bring forward their experience, knowledge, special observations etc. - the more data, the better.
 
WHO WE ARE :)
 
We are many, - but we are also not so many :). We have many many people who are members, and supporters, and who do a lot of good work keeping, reporting and spreading knowledge about Paros.
But we are also, a small group of dedicated people doing a number of things, from public relations, census administration, translations, travels, breeding and coordinating. Our names may appear now and again here and there, and we thought we would now present a little about who we are. You can see this on the homepage
