Database of Migratory Species at Global scale (4344 species, 5500 literature references, Internet-Links, data on distribution and migration behaviour, 1174 GIS-maps, Threat Analysis) - Migratory species are an important dynamic component of biodiversity. The conservation and protection of these species requires international cooperation. However, the level of knowledge we have is not sufficient and information is immensely scattered. Today we can only estimate the number of migratory species within a vast range of 5000 and 10000. GROMS consolidates and summarises all available information and the current states of knowledge into a relational database. It supports a Geographic Information system (GIS) interface and permits various search options for novice users and for experts. The GROMS database is structured to provide an additional tool for fact finding and decision-making by the CMS bodies and related regional Agreements as well as the Convention on Biological Diversity. To this effect, the database is designed to supply information on migratory species, their distribution map, population and bibliography. The current multilingual database contains 4,344 migratory vertebrates species, with their threat and protection status (International Red List), protection status (after CMS and CITES) as well as migration types and more than 5,500 literature citations. ...

InfoNatura provides conservation status, taxonomic, and distribution information for over 6,000 bird, mammal, and amphibian species in Latin America and the Caribbean. InfoNatura represents a "snapshot" of dynamic data that are continually being refined in NatureServe's central databases. We update InfoNatura one to two times each year to reflect new data from refined geographic surveys, the latest taxonomic treatments, and any new conservation status assessments. Future versions of InfoNatura will include data for additional taxonomic groups such as reptiles. ... [Information of the supplier]
The present database documents the indigenous and non-indigenous freshwater fishes and cyclostomes, crabs and mussels found in the Federal German Republic. The bases are the individual fish registries of the federal states and the German Red List, prepared by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation. Currently, for 98 endangered fish and cyclostome species countrywide, the Latin, German and English names, species descriptions, population development, lifestyle, and photos are documented together with their references. Some population data are available. In addition 8 crab species are described with their Latin and German names and species description, as well as 7 mussel species with their Latin and German names. The nomenclature is based on the international database FishBase (Kiel). ... [Information of the supplier, translated]

Der Feldhamster wird auf der Roten Liste der gefährdeten Tiere der Bundesrepublik Deutschland als "stark gefährdet" eingestuft. Nach der Bundesartenschutzverordnung § 13 gehört er zu den besonders geschützten Tierarten und ist durch die europäische Flora-Fauna-Habitat-Richtlinie Anhang IV geschützt. Die fortschreitende Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft macht diesen Schutz weitgehend unwirksam, da der Lebensraum Ackerland keiner Nutzungseinschränkung unterliegt. Um den Feldhamster vor dem völligen Verschwinden zu bewahren, werden zur Zeit in mehreren Bundesländern und in einzelnen europäischen Staaten Schutzprogramme entwickelt beziehungsweise erprobt. Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Feldhamsterschutz (Agfha) führt in Hessen Schutzprojekte durch. Das Ziel des Projektes ist es, die aktuelle Verbreitung und Bestandsdichte des Feldhamsters festzustellen und dies in einem Gebiet, dass wie kaum ein anderes in Deutschland von einem enormen Flächenverbrauch, vor allem im Bereich der landwirtschaftlichen Flächen, betroffen ist. Die Maßnahmen zur Stabilisierung der Feldhamsterbestände dienen auch einer Reihe anderer an die Feldlandschaft angepasster Tierarten, wie dem Feldhasen, der Schafsstelze, der Feldlerche und dem Rebhuhn. Diese Arten können und sollten als "Leitarten" für eine an die Ökologie angepasste Landwirtschaft dienen. ... [Information des Anbieters]
Ziel der Deutschen Wildtier Stiftung ist es, einheimische Wildtiere in ihren natürlichen Lebensräumen zu fördern und erlebbar zu machen. Ihre Aufgaben sind nachhaltiger Schutz einheimischer Wildtiere und Erhalt ihrer Lebensräume, inmitten einer dicht besiedelten und vom Menschen genutzten Kulturlandschaft. Die Deutsche Wildtier Stiftung hat sieben Wildtierarten in den Mittelpunkt ihrer Arbeit gestellt. Sie stehen als Indikatoren für den ökologischen Zustand repräsentativer Lebensräume unserer Kulturlandschaft. In diesem Sinn sind sie sowohl Filter und Fokus für die Arbeit der Stiftung als auch Multiplikatoren für die anderen Arten der jeweiligen Biotoptypen. Eine dieser Arten ist der Rothirsch als Repräsentant für offene Landschaften. Ziel der Stiftung ist es, dieses Tier den Menschen wieder näher zu bringen und erlebbar zu machen. ...
