"It has been published in recent days by the scientific journal Zootaxa the description of a new species of arboreal snake (which was given the name of Atheris matildae, in Italian" horned viper Matilda "), discovered in southern Tanzania by researchers Science Museum of Trento and WCS, the Wildlife Conservation Society. The survival of this species, just identified, is already in danger because of the narrowness of the distribution in which it operates and the potential withdrawal that will suffer from those who feed the illegal market of the animals from detention.
Aware of this situation, the scientists of the Science Museum of Trento and WCS have decided to act in advance, picking up some pairs of reptiles and starting a program of captive breeding. The goal is to have a sort of "survival insurance" of the species (populations bred in captivity to prevent the extinction of a species are called "insurance populations") and to be able to somehow manage the market by providing ranched specimens that prevent or at least reduce the levy in nature.
A project coordinated books a la carte the Science Museum of Trento and WCS tries to "act in advance" about the dangers of collecting, providing playing Atheris matildae captive and putting on the market some of the animals born in captivity in order to neutralize or reduce the taking of animals in nature (...) "Because of the scale of the trafficking, the illegal trade of wildlife is an element that can not be ignored books a la carte when it comes to new species," explains Michele books a la carte Menegon, a researcher at the Museum of Science and discoverer of the species, "and it is the responsibility of the scientists who describe and provide information about new species of potential commercial interest, make sure that the discovery does not become condemned to disappear."
Here, then, that, through a careful breeding program at the zoo and other institutions, the viper, thanks to its beauty and 'appeal that generates among collectors, it could produce the economic resources needed to "pay" for its preservation: the specimens born in captivity should satisfy (without harm to conservation) that same market that could easily destroy the wild population and generate wealth for the villages who live on the fringes of the forest: the residents will be involved in breeding in captivity and will eventually see, in Its natural occurrence in "their" forest, a value to be protected, that attracts interest books a la carte and resources and can be managed in a sustainable and conservative. The focus on "resource viper" will hopefully, as a consequence, to a greater focus on forest ecosystems and will be a driving force in the promotion of a program of community-based development and conservation of the forest where this species lives.
