Overview and description
Description:
This Specialist Group (SSG) is a global network of over 50 experts contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of sturgeons and paddlefishes.
Group leadership
Prof Arne LUDWIG
Red List Authority Coordinator
Since 2002, I am employed at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo & Wildlife Research in Berlin, Germany. My focus is on animal conservation genetics and wildlife forensics. In the 1990s, I started with research on the restoration of sturgeon as well as on methods for sturgeon trade control (e.g. caviar). Both topics are still of great interest for sturgeon conservation. Since 2022, I am the Chair of the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Sturgeon Specialist Group.
Dr Leonardo CONGIU
Red List Authority Coordinator
I work as molecular ecologist at the University of Padova, (Italy). I have been working on sturgeon conservation since 1999, conducting research in population genetics, cytogenetics, species and hybrids identification, stock management and support to ex situ conservation programs. I am member of the board since 2015. I have been serving as Red List Authority since 2017.

Specialist Group work
At present, ending illegal fishing and trade and restoring wild populations and their habitats are primary tasks. The SSG will work on all of these fronts in the arenas of science, trade monitoring, and restoration and rebuilding, as well as policy initiatives through CITES and other mechanisms.
To inform conservation efforts, SSG assesses species for the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List of Threatened Species.
In 2019, The Red List assessment update for North American species was published.
