Project managers that have decided to publish their projects, are illustrated on the map below.
Townsend's Shearwater
This project aims to protect the breeding grounds of the Townsend´s Shearwater and to reduce the impact of mortality factors affecting breeding birds and their offspring on Socorro Island. In this particular component we will change street lights on Socorro Island to minimize casualties associated to light attraction.

Ringed storm petrel - Golondrina de la tempestad de collar
The Ringed Storm Petrel Project has been carrying rescue and release actions of these pelagic birds that were grounded in different urban places of the Peruvian coast. This is a data deficient species, its breeding sites are unknown; that is why we also have been working with the collect information of morphological and landing data.

Norfolk Island Parakeet
Safe nesting sites are a limiting factor for This proTasman parakeets. Introduced crimson rosellas and starlings compete aggressively for these, while introduced rats and cats prey on eggs, chicks and nesting females at vulnerable nests. Using motion-sensitive cameras on modified nests, this project closely monitor breeding activities of parakeets to guide intervention. Since the onset of this project, the number of successful nests has doubled.

Ecuadorian Tapaculo, El Oro Tapaculo
The endemic Ecuadorian Tapaculo is heavily threatened by loss and fragmentation of its habitat, the pre-montane cloud forests of southwestern Ecuador. In our project, we combine results from landscape genetics analyses and habitat assessments to restore functional connectivity for the remaining populations of the Ecuadorian Tapaculo.

Cherry-throated Tanager
The Critically Endangered Cherry-throated Tanager is endemic of the montane Atlantic Forest of EspÃrito Santo state in Brazil. In the last years SAVE Brasil has been working in partnership with the Government lobbying for the creation of public and private protected areas in the region. The project is also engaging communities to bring pride to the local people for housing this unique species.

West African chimpanzee
Wild chimpanzees are only found in tropical Africa, where their populations have declined by more than 66% in the last 30 years.To assure the protection of chimpanzees, the WCF will continue its important programs.Conservation education is a priority long-term action for the conservation of chimpanzees and other wildlife. In 2007, WCF created nature clubs called “Club P.A.N.â€(People, Animals & Nature) for schools in West Africa.

Sumatran Orangutan
The objective is to establish a new safety-net population of orangutans in Sumatra through the rehabilitation and release of confiscated individuals. This project will allow us to release 15 individuals by June, 2014. After release SOCP will protect and monitor these orangutans by maintaining our onsite veterinarian and employing local staff to survey their foraging and nest-building behaviours, health, and reproductive fitness.

Purple-faced langur
This project’s’ primary objective is to help conserve Sri Lanka’s three endangered and endemic non-human primates, by training communities living around areas with suitable conservation attributes (safe havens) to manage these areas and derive benefits through sustainable development.
View project
Livingstone's fuit bat
The Endangered Livingstone's Fruit Bat, endemic to two islands in the Comoros archipelago, is under threat due to anthropogenic pressure on long-term roost sites. This project will work with landowners and village management committees to devise and pilot an innovative Payment for Ecosystem Services scheme to protect key roost sites. The scheme will be integrated within wider integrated landscape management planning to ensure sustainability.
