Discussion session on freshwater KBAs: a message to the Freshwater Institutional Team
1) Things happening already on Red Listing and identifying KBAs for freshwater species through
IUCN, especially in Africa (fishes, odonates, decapods, molluscs, freshwater plants)
2) There are already significant amounts of freshwater data available from CI regional programs (e.g.
Madagascar, Venezuela, New Caledonia)
3) Existing CI terrestrial work may already pick up some threatened freshwater species in KBAs, but not
always (e.g. Nicaragua)
4) Delineation is clearly complex (e.g. should a freshwater KBA include riparian forest?) but not
qualitatively different from terrestrial environments. Important to consider and manage watershed issues
and threats beyond the site, but these should be considered at the corridor level (e.g. Mekong dams)
