The discovery of a new species of snail. They call Greta Thunberg
the LONDON - Greta Thunberg as Leonardo DiCaprio's. A new species of snail has been discovered by a group of scientists freelance in collaboration with the experts of the Taxon Expeditions, a company that organises scientific expeditions for professionals and not. The discovery, published in the open access journal Biodiversity Data Journal, has led to the naming of the new species Craspedotropis Gretathunbergae, in honor of the young activist Swedish Greta Thunberg and his efforts to raise public awareness on climate change. "The sample belongs to the so-called caenogastropodi, a group of land snails known to be sensitive to drought, extreme temperatures and forest degradation," says Menno Schilthuizen, an expert on snails, and founder of the Taxon Expeditions. The scientist says that the specimens found were near the research station, and were looking for leaves to eat, at the foot of a slope of a hill.

"Call this species Greta Thunberg is a way to recognize that this generation will be responsible for the resolution of problems that have not been directly responsible. And it is a promise that we will be the cause of Greta," says JP Lim, the first to notice the new species. "It is not the first time that we give the name of a defender of the environment to a new species. In 2018, the Taxon Expeditions is dedicated to the discovery of a new beetle to actor and activist Leonardo DiCaprio , which, in order to recognize the honour, has also temporarily changed the profile photo of Facebook with an image of the beetle," conclude the experts.
