not only over 1000, it must have gone over 1111 Species not so long ago. We should lift some liquid to that soon!

1500 ;-) 9500 to go til 10000.

I've read that in germany there should be ~ 40000 species ... wonder how many can be find in a riverside forest. And what diognosis equippment we would nead to get there ...

Oh, where did you read this? My first thought was indeed "ONLY 40.000?" :D

e.g. here https://www.wwf.de/themen-projekte/biologische-vielfalt/reichtum-der-natur/biodiversitaet-in-deutschland/, but I just noticed that I only remembered the counter for the "10000", and dropped 9000 species, ähem.

worse, that was only the animal kingdom, I disregarded plants and fungi

correction,

25.000 plants & fungi
48.000 animals
(from https://biologischevielfalt.bfn.de/infothek/biologische-vielfalt/vielfalt-in-deutschland.html)

So 40000 for the Leipzig Riverside Forest should be feasible :-)
