Nigerian Chimpanzee
The aim of the Nigerian Montane Forest Project is to :
combine scientific research with education at both tertiary and
local community level in order to develop long term sustainable
management of Nigeria’s montane forests.
We achieve this through the running of an ecological research station which attracts national and international researchers and is run largely through the local community.

Madagascar Pochard
This long-term project will save the Madagascar pochard from the brink of extinction. Just 20 individuals remain in the wild, restricted to one location. A captive-breeding and a research programme have been established. Working with local communities, birds will be released within the species’ former range. The project will also serve to encourage wider conservation of Malagasy wetlands for the benefit of people and wildlife.

Egyptian Vulture
Through expeditions in collaboration with local partners, the project aims to determine the population number and threats for the migrating population of the Egyptian Vultures from the Palearctic in their main wintering areas in East Africa, to create human capacity and ensure proper design of the future conservation activities.

Indian Elephant
Invasive exotic species pose an enormous threat to the world‟s biological diversity.
Exotic plant invasions can have negative effects on native flora, which can be in turn detrimental to herbivores that depend on native vegetation. In this project, I examined the association of an exotic invasive weed, Lantana camara with Asian elephants its food resources, habitat use and feeding behaviour in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, India.

Bornean Orang-utan
The Kinabatangan Orang-utan Conservation Program, located in Sabah (Malaysian Borneo)intends to identify ways for peaceful cohabitation between people, orang-utans, elephants and other wildlife living in the Kinabatangan floodplain. We work with local communities to ensure the long-term survival of these unique species of wildlife.

Spiny-tailed Utila iguana (Swamper)
The Iguana Research and Breeding Staion (IRBS) is situated on the island of Utila and works to conserve the endemic, endangered spiny-tailed iguana (Ctenosaura bakeri). The grant provided by the Mohammed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund provided helps to pay for essentials needed to maintain a good working environment at the station and supports many of the scientific studies undertaken at the IRBS.

Black Soft-shell Turtle
This project aims to ascertain the present status and threats of Black softshell turtle along with other softshell turtle species in the Kamrup District of Assam, India and monitoring of habitat ecology.Efforts have been made to educate people about the significance of chelonian species and its conservation and to start a participatory conservation programme on endangered turtles.

Harlequin frog
The Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project creates assurance colonies of highly vulnerable species of amphibians to prevent extinctions due to an invasive fungal pathogen that causes chytridiomycosis.

Azuero Howling Monkey
The Fundación Pro-Conservación de los Primates Panameños (FCPP) started in 2001 the first long-term primates population study to obtain ecological information of Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis, Alouatta coibensis coibensis and Alouatta coibensis trabeata. This is the first ever recorded data to calculate their total population and their actual conservation status. Environmental education practices are operating in Azuero Peninsula to help ...

White-shouldered Ibis
The University of East Anglia is investigating the conservation biology of White-shouldered Ibis (Pseudibis davisoni). In this project we are investigating the role of natural vs human predation at ibis nests, and the most effect means of protecting nests. We are employing nest guards and installing nest cameras at nests in Western Siem Pang IBA, Cambodia.
