The Dead Sea toothcarp - scientific name Aphanius dispar richardsoni - has been on the Red List of the International Union for Conversation of Nature since 2014. FIFA NATURE RESERVE, Jordan: Jordan is racing against time to save a tiny rare fish from extinction as falling water levels partly triggered by global warming threaten to dry up its last habitat.
Ibrahim Mahasneh, director of the Fifa Nature Reserve and member of the Royal Jordanian Society for the Conservation of Nature. "We have a plan to save and breed this fish ... to create a natural habitat for it to breed and at the same time to mitigate the existing threat," added Mahasneh. Among the environmental threats causing numbers to drop is the"lowering water level due to low rainfall and the change in its environment, as well as the presence of other fish that feed on it and its eggs".
Two decades ago the RSS, which was established in 1970, succeeded in saving the endangered Aphanuis sirhani fish in its only habitat in the Azraq reserve, about 110km east of Amman.
