JORDAN - ENVIRONMENT - CLIMATE - FISH

JORDAN - ENVIRONMENT - CLIMATE - FISH
Visitors walk along a wooden bridge at Jordan's Azraq Wetland Reserve, about 110 kilometres (65 miles) east of Jordan's capital, on June 10, 2021. Jordan is racing against time to save the tiny rare Dead Sea toothcarp fish from extinction as falling water levels partly triggered by global warming threaten to dry up its last habitat. Two decades ago Jordan's Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) succeeded in saving the endangered Aphanuis Sirhani fish in its only habitat in the Azraq reserve, about 110 kilometres (65 miles) east of Amman. It got its scientific name from the Wadi Sirhan, which extends from the Arabian Peninsula to Azraq, but is commonly known in English as the Azraq killifish.
