Scotland: Scientists lure endangered #newts to ancient wetlands https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cek9zrjjle0o

"An abundance of the plant #glyceria has raised expectations that newts are likely to return.... #GreatCrestedNewts like to lay their eggs on this plant. They identified 3 old ponds that they are developing to maximise #biodiversity for #wildlife. There is evidence that newts used to be seen in this area, so once the ponds are restored it will be a case of continued monitoring to see which species return."
