The 25th issue of the major magazine for environmental, nature and wildlife protection has been published! – excellent reports, including on gorillas, the "Big Five" of Tasmania, the nature paradises of the Pantanal and São Tomé and Príncipe – interview with the Udo Lindenberg Foundation
In an unusually large and impressive format, readers of the valuable MONDBERGE-magazine can learn, through compelling articles, unique photos and modern layout, why our blue planet is so worth protecting. In the current issue, again, exciting stories about rare animal species, fascinating nature regions and many environmental themes are perfectly presented – this time on 152 pages.
In its main article about the twogorilla species with their respective subspecies, the MONDBERGE editor Andreas Klotz dedicates himself to these fascinating animals. Since his first visit to the "Mondberge" in the over 5,000 meter high, Congolese-Ugandan Ruwenzori Mountains, the mountain gorillas living nearby have been a central theme for Andreas.
Readers will learn a lot of interesting information about the intelligent human apes, their greatest threats, and the positive role that tourism plays in their protection, in his fantastically illustrated contribution.
The author and MONDBERGE editor-in-chief Kerstin von Splényi delved deep into the topic of moor and reports in her exciting contribution about the different forms of this habitat, which is so important for many animal and plant species, its worldwide distribution in various places and its diverse functions. And she informs about the consequences of the destruction of moorland through conversion into arable land and peat extraction, especially for the climate.
Florian Smit describes his exciting experiences as a solo traveler through the frosty Lapland in an impressive way. His goals: the Sarek and the Muddus. Both national parks belong to the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Laponia". The author initially takes the readers on smaller explorations on skis through extensive moorlands, which served as a test run for the large tour in the Sarek National Park, which is considered one of the last true wilderness areas in Europe.
If you put your finger exactly in the middle of a map of South America, you will land exactly where the German zoologist and ant bear researcher Lydia Möcklinghoff rummages through the landscape on her exploration trip. Here, in the wild west of Brazil, lies the Pantanal, one of the largest nature paradises of South America: At least 580 bird species, 380 fish species and over 2,000 plant species live in this huge inland wetland. It is one of the most important refuges for jaguars, giant otters, giant anteaters and ant bears. The Pantanal is a vast plain that extends over 170,000 square kilometers in the tri-state area of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. Let yourself be enchanted by the wonderful descriptions of the scientist and her co-author, Monika Sax!
