New year, new decade, new challenge. Sad to see @Vision and @KevinVar go, of course, and this year North America and Europe are not mirroring challenges. Last year we broke away from taxonomic boundaries for geographic ones; this year, North America’s challenge will be splitting from the norm even further: this year’s challenge is IUCN Threatened Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians, with thanks to @d1am0ndback for the idea!
As I’m sure we all know, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature has a sliding scale rating the likelihood of extinction of animals. Not every animal is evaluated, but most zoo animals are. With the modern zoo often existing for the purpose of conservation, many collections have shifted to the keeping and breeding of Threatened species. These species are those which fall in the categories of Vulnerable, Endangered, Critically Endangered, or Extinct in the Wild. So, these are the species that count for the challenge. To avoid bloating our lists too much, I’m restricting the challenge to non-fish vertebrates: amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
And before I get into the actual rules, I thought I’d mention the fun one: put all your lifer species in bold! This is a great way to track your personal growth throughout the year.
Now, for the rules, with thanks to @Shorts for coming up with the initial set from which these are modified:
1. You have to actually see the animal, even if just for a second. Seeing the sign for the animal or simply visiting the collection that has it does not count.
2. Photographic proof is not required, though it of course always helps to keep track of what you’ve seen. Your word is your bond.
3. All entries must be presented in numbered list form, with scientific names included.
4. You have to see the animal via normal public access during normal public opening hours. Behind-the-scenes tours, whether offered by the zoo commercially or by a certain individual privately, do not count, nor do keeper-for-a-day programs or anything of the sort. Basically the species has to be seen as Joe Public would, from the public area of the zoo while it is open.
5. Any severely limited opening or private collections don't count for this challenge. While some may disagree with this rule, it disadvantages others who are unable to arrange visits to such collections during those times. Facilities that may only be visited by tours are acceptable as long as the tours are offered during a large portion of the year. An example of this is Duke Lemur Center.
6. Only public zoological collections count. Animals seen at farms, exotic animal expos, or pet stores of any kind do not count. If a certain collection is confusing to you, please feel free to reply here with questions.
7. Report your progress on this thread as you go along. While you won’t lose points for not doing so, it is more competitive if each person can see how all the other participants are faring. You do not need to re-type your list every time you update, quoting the previous post is sufficient. Include the collection you saw the species at and the date you visited it.
8. Only one subspecies per species can be counted. If you do not see a pure subspecies, it is still okay to count the species. Refer to the accepted taxonomy for any subspecies questions or elevations.
9. Similarly, refer to the accepted taxonomy (in this case, IUCN) for any species splits.
10. Hybrid animals do not count. Any issues that may arise due to the taxonomy we are following will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
11. Wild animals do not count, all species must be seen in captivity in North America under the conditions listed above.
12. Any issues with any of the above rules is open to discussion but the rules are set and any decisions made are final.
13. The winner will be the person who has seen the most species by December 31, 2020. Please be sure to have all of your entries in by or on that date.
