I am a huge proponent of conservation. Thus, it should be no surprise that I regularly visit the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), specifically the Red List.
I also often ask my interviewees, depending on their background, for their views on conservation efforts within the hobby.
I encourage you to participate in cichlid conservation efforts when you can. There are many such initiatives for cichlid hobbyists, like the CARES (Conservation, Awareness, Recognition and Responsibility, Encouragement and Education, and Support and Sharing) Preservation Program.
If you’re not familiar with the IUCN, I have made several posts about it, including posts about the Red List here and the more recent Green List here. In fact, check out their latest press release. I encourage you to read those posts and this release, or else familiarize yourself with the cichlids on the Red List, especially. I think all cichlid keepers have a responsibility to support healthy fish stocks in the wild. Understanding which cichlids are endangered is part of that responsibility.
