The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund has awarded $7,174,108 to 609 conservation projects for all species types with all IUCN classifications throughout the world. Project managers that have decided to publish their projects, are illustrated on the map below.

Macquarie Island Cushion Plant
Azorella macquariensis is a keystone species endemic to Macquarie Island. In 2008 large areas of A.macquariensis were observed to be dying. Research is continuing to determine the the cause of the dieback. The project objectives are to maintain an ex-situ collection of A.macquariensis on Macquarie Island and increase viable holdings of seed in the Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.

Lungless salamander
FFI's ultimate goal is to empower local stakeholders to conserve Ometepe Island's endemic salamander (Bolitoglossa insularis) and its cloud forest habitat. The project goal is to enhance knowledge and capacity to enable immediate conservation action to project this salamander (IUCN: not listed). We will establish essential baseline data to evaluate conservation status, build a participatory monitoring system and share project knowledge gained ...

Deep water acropora
FFI and partners will conduct review of status, distribution, exploitation and threats of key coral species (IUCN: endangered) within Tejakula sub-district in Bali, Indonesia. We will reaise community awareness in Tejakula of coral conservation particularly among ornamental fishers, with key species as flagships. We will communicate information on key coral species and reef condition to inform Locally Managed Marine Area planning.

Dendroseris neriifolia
Juan Fernandez Islands biodiversity has both highly levels of endemism and extinction threat. Currently, from 133 endemic species of vascular flora, more than 70% are globally listed as endangered. Eight species are been classified as extinct and 52 Critically Endangered. This project aims to develope management conservation plan to prevent extinctions of 8 CR Juan Fernandez plant species.

Pelahlar
The giant tree Dipterocarpus littoralis is restricted only to Nusakambangan Island in Central Java. It has been categorized as critically endangered by IUCN since 1997 and included nationally on list of priority species for 2008-2018 Indonesia conservation action. This project aims to measure the distribution, population size and structure as well as environmental conditions that influence the presence and density of D. littoralis.

Clinosperma macrocarpa
Clinosperma macrocarpa is a palm tree with a limited number of individuals, believed to consist in three micro-populations, exclusively found (micro-endemism) on the Mont Panie Wilderness Reserve in North Province of New Caledonia. The project aims at contributing to the long-term protection of the species. It is based on a partnership with Dayu Biik, a local Kanak association managing the Reserve.

Hydrangea species
Mexico is the fourth most diverse country in the world in terms of biodiversity, yet many new plant species still awaiting discovery are already endangered with extinction as a consequence of deforestation and habitat destruction. In the framework of this project we study and aim to conserve new "Hortensia" (Hydrangea) species in central and southern Mexico.

Liver-oil shark
As top predators chondrichthyans are key components of their marine ecosystem and are vulnerable to fishing pressure. The aim of the project is to identify habitat uses, vertical movements and regional migrations of Galeorhinus galeus and Atlantoraja castelnaui using satellite technology. Behaviour, environmental variables, primary production and the commercial fishery fleet movements will be linked in a GIS to build new conservation and ...

Himalayan musk deer
The Himalayan musk deer (Moschus chrysogaster) is found in sub-alpine and alpine vegetation. They use communal deposition sites for defecation which was influenced by the distance to human settlments, rock cover, altitude and cattle grazing. Forb & seedling richness and forb density were lowered at pellet deposition site than control sites. However, tree, shrub and sapling richness and density were not significantly different.

Malmequer/ Estreleira
The Selvagens Islands are home of over 100 plant species, including 9 endemic taxa to the archipelago. Three of these endemics are extremely rare with a population sizes below 250 individuals: Argyranthemum thalassophilum, Asparagus nesiotes subsp. nesiotes and Euphorbia anachoreta. The project will consist of a series of demographic, genetic, and ecological studies aimed to design adequate conservation strategies for the three target plant taxa.
