Azure Damselfly, Coenagrion puella(Oliver Wright)
Fresh water is key to life on Earth, is a core element of our climates and is a critical resource for the survival of humankind. Sadly, however, they are often overlooked and the animal species that live there are more threatened than their counterparts living in other habitat types.Dragonflies and damselflies are the ambassadors of the freshwater world. They have the extraordinary ability to disappear during bad weather, only to reappear in a wingbeat when the sun breaks through the clouds. No other animal embodies the beauty, fragility and resilience of the natural world better than dragonflies: we are transfixed by their penetrating gaze, we marvel at their agility and we are fascinated by their delicate bodies. Unsurprisingly, dragonflies are the subject of special attention from nature enthusiasts, and online biodiversity platforms receive tens of thousands of records of dragonfly observations each year. These data provide an opportunity to study the decline of certain species due to the destruction of their habitats, the increase of other species after hot summers or the return of others to restored rivers.I would like to pay heartfelt tribute to Jean-Pierre Boudot, the leading specialist on European dragonflies over the past few decades. His most remarkable achievement has been the mapping of species, which he has been able to undertake through the close monitoring of new publications and by making long, solitary car journeys to survey sites around Europe. His work provided the basis for the Atlas of the Odonata of the Mediterranean and North Africa(2009), the Atlas of the European Dragonflies and Damselflies(2015) and the Red Lists of these regions, published in 2009 and 2010, respectively. It therefore comes as no surprise that a new species discovered in 2014 in Morocco was named Onychogomphus boudotiin his honour.I had the great pleasure of visiting the Siwa Oasis with Jean-Pierre in 2009. On the edge of the Sahara Desert, close to the LibyaEgypt border, this isolated oasis is the only place in the world where the European dragonfly Font size:
