    Since most of the time was just walking, I guess this project didn't have an impressive budget. I saw someone saying that he wouldn't pay to save snails instead of other animals, but I desagrees since the project represents a small part of your budget (I think, I May be wrong)

    • @MossyEarth

    if there's one thing I learned studying nature both recreationally and now academically, is that every species, no matter how small or uncharismatic, is worth saving. They all have a role to play in the grand scheme of things on this planet, even if it's not immediately obvious. So I think it's a wonderful and definitely brave thing (those drops, oof!) that you're doing for the sake of these little snails. Keep up the good work and good luck for the next expedition, I'm sure you'll find the last species. Força, rapaziada!

    An amazing expedition, sad that you weren't able to find G. coronula, but hopefully future expeditions will prove fruitful in finding more individuals and eventually starting a breeding program. Your success in establishing breeding colonies for 3 of the 4 is an amazing success. Can't wait to see more amazing works in the future and I'm looking forward to hear of the formal reintroduction of these species back to the islands in the future.

    Doesn't the marking potentially hinder the snail's natural camouflage to hide from predators?
    I guess that you have to balance the hypothetical disadvantage that marking may suppose with the benefits that the population size information can provide when analysing conservation efforts.
    Anyways, great work. Hope that all four species can be saved

    I'm a Mossy Earth Member, paid for 3 peoples worth for an entire year, as i believe in what you are doing. While I'm not saying that this is a wrong way to spend the members donations. I'm really not, i do believe we have a responsibility to intervene and do what we can, to support all species. But what got me thinking while watching this video, was as this is such a small island and a lot of those species can only be found in that place, would it be a better use of resources to concentrate on more keystone species. Those that would have a wider affect on their environments. I honestly don't know the answer, but it would be an interesting video concept for you to do. As there is a valid point in each direction.

    • @MossyEarth
      @MossyEarth  2 года назад +7

      Hi Mac, first off a big thank for being a member! The point you raise is very valid and we take it seriously. Most of our work and budget spend focuses on projects that with a small intervention unlock vast change such as our work with wetlands or keystone species like the salmon. This project is less than 1% of our budget in the past year. It helps with diversifying our impact and supports these species that would otherwise not get any funding. These projects will always be a smaller % of our spending but we think they do a lot with what little we spend on them. Hope that makes sense! - Cheers, Duarte

    I think its very awesome you guys are doing this, I also understand why and really respect that. Yet I am very interested to know why you are doing this in a bigger extent. So the snails only live on 1 island, so very confined, they also are very confined to certain places on the island. And I understand that its because of that issue, for example a landslide or something like that can wipe out on of the species entirely. So since you have done a 2nd round of observation, marking and all you probably came to sort of an estimate on the scale and size of the area? So not asking where they exactly are but what area size are we roughly talking about?
    Keep up the great work!

      there are some novel plankton species which evolved over the winter in my local rain puddle. for a million I will start a breeding program that makes sure this species doesn't go extinct!

    Very interesting subject matter. As an observation pertaining more to editing, the narration mentions that this expedition takes place in the Desertas Islands - but does not explain where that is. Nor does the text description of the video, above the comments, state where this field work is being done. I gathered from a reference in the narration that this may be one in a sequence of videos about this expedition. Perhaps an earlier video gave information about the location of the island. But you have to expect that this video may show up in “feeds”, where the previous videos in the series have •not• appeared, and that not everyone (even among those who have a good general knowledge of geography) knows where this place is!
    So, I would suggest that either the narration of this video, or its text description, should have made it clear that the Desertas Islands are a small archipelago within the larger Madeira Archipelago, located off the coast of Morocco

      Well spotted, it is a wolf spider and not a tarantula, my bad! The common name in portuguese is tarântula-das-desertas which doesn't help ha ha. Cheers, Tiago

    This island seems so hostile to, and untouched by human life. I have to wonder what drove this species so close to extinction to begin with? Can this planet really continue to support it, or has it just had a bad stroke of luck that can be more permanently corrected?
