Saving the largest extant population of the critically endangered Aeolian wall lizard, Podarcis raffonei.
View project
Trichogenes claviger
The objectives of current research are to detect the presence of the Caetés catfish, Trichogenes claviger, in isolated rivers along the upper Rio Caxixe and Rio Fruteiras, tributaries of Rio Itapemirim in Espírito Santo mountains, Brazil. Employng the metabarcoding approach, through environmental DNA. We aim to locate existing populations of this species, figured on the IUCN redlist, as a critically endangered freshwater catfish.

Pumpkin toadlet
Understanding the role of microclime in future distribution and behaviour of the small pumpkin-toadlet Brachycephalus mirissimus. In this project, we will use acoustic monitoring and modelling to study the role of altitudinal and altitudinal gradient in this microendemic species under climate change scenarios to propose conservation actions.

Red-bellied monkey
The population, behavioral-ecology, and conservation of threatened primate species in Southern Benin.
View project
Asian elephant
This project utilizes AI cameras and thermal drones to establish an early warning system for human-elephant conflict mitigation, benefiting farmers by alerting them to nearby elephants, and ecotourism operators by guiding tourists to designated elephant viewing areas. We therefore aim to address human-elephant conflicts, promote sustainable tourism, support local livelihoods and conserve/build local values for elephants.
