Protection and conservation of the natural habitats of alpine or webbed newts and other amphibians, lizards, reptiles and so on. | Bern Convention 09/19/1979
Protection and conservation of the natural habitats of alpine or webbed newts and other amphibians, lizards, reptiles and so on. | Bern Convention 09/19/1979
Identification
The alpine newt reaches 12 centimeters in length. The female has an orange-colored belly, with a black-spotted white stripe on the flanks and the body is brown, green, composed of “marbled spots” with an orange dorsal line. The gray-blue male (*) has an orange belly, and it has a small white dorsal crest spotted with black.
Status
The alpine newt, Ichthyosaura alpestris, is classified as a vulnerable species, according to the IUCN methodology, that is to say like the spotted salamander, Salamandra salamandra or like the common frog, Rana temporaria or even the punctuated spadefoot frog, Pelodytes punctatus and so on.
The alpine newt is now a protected species in most countries. In Europe, all amphibian species are listed in the convention for the conservation of European wildlife and natural habitats, known as the "Berne Convention" (Cf. taxonomic reference list of the council from Europe )
In France it is forbidden to destroy or remove eggs and nests, to mutilate, to capture, thus leading to the intentional disturbance of animals in the natural environment (Order of November 19, 2007 and Order of January 8, 2021 setting the lists of amphibians and reptiles protected throughout the territory and the terms of their protection).
Population
The species is considered rare in Hungary and Bulgaria, threatened in Austria and Denmark, vulnerable in Spain, and endangered in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Greece.
Threat
Like most amphibians, the alpine newt is vulnerable (Classification and threat list on iucnredlist.org):
Agriculture and aquaculture (Grazing, breeding or agro-industrial breeding | pesticides).
The use of biological resources (hunting [*1], logging and wood harvesting contribute to the modification, and sometimes, to the destruction of their habitats [*2] ).
The destruction of wetlands.
Pollution (Industrial and military influences).
Invasive or problematic species, genes and diseases (Invasive non-native / exotic species / diseases).
Climate change: changes in the climate cause a change in the seasons, for example, spring begins a month in advance now, episodes of early heat are more frequent, and the average rise in temperatures, which leads to destruction of areas wet ...
[* 1]: significant increase in traffic on forest roads, paths and so on.
[* 2]: machinery + trucks + significant increase in traffic on forest roads, paths and so on.

CONVENTION ON THE CONSERVATION OF EUROPEAN WILDLIFE AND NATURAL HABITATS
Why salamanders are important to you | 30 years of nature protection
Going around an altitude lake, you can sometimes see animals suspended in the water, perfectly motionless, legs apart. Upon our approach, an energetic ripple of the tail allows them to disappear under a stone or in the vegetation. This is the alpine newt. When it rises to the surface, you can sometimes admire its orange belly and throat, but this color, in males intended to attract females, is usually visible only from the bottom of the lake. This newt can be present up to 2,650 m altitude in the Alps ...

Summary
The Convention aims to ensure conservation of wild flora and fauna species and their habitats. Special attention is given to endangered and vulnerable species, including endangered and vulnerable migratory species specified in appendices.
The Parties undertake to take all appropriate measures to ensure the conservation of the habitats of the wild flora and fauna species. Such measures should be included in the Parties planning and development policies and pollution control, with particular attention to the conservation of wild flora and fauna. The Parties undertake to promote education and disseminate general information concerning the need to conserve species of wild flora and fauna and their habitats.
The Convention establishes a Standing Committee on which the Parties are represented by their delegates. The Committee's principal task is to monitor the provisions of this Convention in the light of development of the wild flora and the assessment of its needs. For this purpose, the Standing Committee is especially competent to make recommendations to the Parties and amendments to the appendices where these protected species are specified.
