Heat therapy has proven effective against the type of fungus known to date. After two weeks in a heat chamber at a constant temperature of 25 \u00b0C, the fungus dies. Although salamanders prefer cooler temperatures, they usually survive the procedure well. This means that infected animals can be nursed back to health.<\/p>\n<p>However, no therapy can help in the biotope, and cured salamanders cannot be returned there unless they are to fall ill again. This is because heat therapy does not build up immunity, and the fungus still lurks in the forest.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the only option for safely preserving affected fire salamander populations is to take animals from them into human care and breed them there. Like on an ark, they can then survive until, hopefully, one day the situation in their habitat is safe again, the animals have developed immunity or resilience to the fungus, or there is a possibility of vaccination.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;100&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; style=&#8221;inherited&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;306225&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; style=&#8221;light&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;552472&#8243;][uncode_slider slider_interval=&#8221;0&#8243; slider_navspeed=&#8221;1000&#8243; slider_loop=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;679834&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;134859&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;187602&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;975128&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; sub_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;142146&#8243; subheading=&#8221;Building up reserve populations from local fire salamander stocks ensures that their offspring can repopulate these areas in future.&#8221;][\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/uncode_slider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;864529&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;141390&#8243;]How arks can be designed[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;188120&#8243;]To save not only individual fire salamanders, but the entire species, you need a few arks. Putting all your eggs in one basket, for example keeping all the animals in one location, may be economically efficient, but the risk of all the animals being affected in a local disaster is far too great. There are also different ways to design such an ark, especially if you want to preserve the fire salamander&#8217;s diversity. Genetic diversity plays a central role here, as this has already been studied reasonably well. But what about, for example, the diversity of bacteria and other microorganisms that fire salamanders have in their gut or on their skin?<\/p>\n<p>To have as many options as possible for the future, we need a network of arks. What this might look like, what to consider, where to start, and more is what we have put together on behalf of the Species Assistance Program for the Fire Salamander in Bavaria.

However, in order to preserve the species in its genetic and ecological diversity in the long term, it is essential that these conservation and research endeavours are aware of each other, that their results are pooled for all to see and that conservation breeding is coordinated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is why Citizen Conservation, in collaboration with other organisations and institutions, invited people to a major Fire Salamander Symposium at Hannover Adventure Zoo from 17 to 19 April 2024. This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feuersalamander.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Feuersalamander.NET<\/a> was founded, a network that will also serve as a central reporting, information and coordination centre for efforts to protect fire salamanders and, in the future, Alpine Salamanders. Such coordination is particularly important in the establishment of ex situ conservation breeding programmes so that scarce resources can be used with maximum effect to preserve Fire Salamanders in all their diversity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;615046&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;185012&#8243;]The salamander devourer on film[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;194490&#8243;]Author Susann Knakowske accompanied scientists, conservationists and animal owners on film for over a year.
