Meet the incredible Black-and-chestnut Eagle, a stunning bird of prey facing serious challenges like human-eagle conflicts, hunting, and habitat loss. This elusive neo-tropical raptor is one of the least-studied species, hidden in dense montane forests. But there’s hope!
 
In this episode of Conservation Calls, created by the Repton podcast team with support from Chanda Miyanda, we venture to the beautiful Caquetá region of Colombia, where the Andes meet the Amazon. Join Mark Hall and Jorge Muñoz from the Caquetá Association for Ornithology as they unveil an ambitious plan to save this majestic bird.
 
Listen to this inspiring story where eco-tourism, youth outreach, and community involvement come together to give the Black-and-chestnut Eagle a fighting chance. Check it out through the link in @speciesconservationfund bio.

نستقبل عامًا هجريًا جديدًا، نستذكر فيه رحلة الهجرة التي لم تكن انتقالًا بين مكانين فحسب، بل كانت بداية لفصل جديد من الإيمان والعمل والأمل.
 
في صندوق محمد بن زايد للمحافظة على الكائنات الحية، نؤمن أن كل بداية جديدة هي فرصة لتجديد النية، وتعزيز التزامنا بحماية الحياة على هذا الكوكب، والوقوف مع كل من يعمل بإخلاص لأجل كوكب أكثر توازنًا ورحمة.
 
كل عام وأنتم بخير، ونسأل الله أن يكون عامًا يحمل الخير والسلام والبركة للجميع.

As we welcome the Hijri New Year, we are reminded that Hijrah was not just a journey between places; it was the beginning of hope, purpose, and renewal.
 
At the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, we believe that every new beginning is a chance to recommit to protecting life on Earth and standing alongside those working to safeguard our planet.
 
Wishing you and your loved ones a year filled with peace, purpose, and prosperity.

This project aims to conserve five remarkable species of the genus Ambystoma (A. taylori, A. rivulare, A. altamirani, A. granulosum, and A. velasci), which are found across central Mexico. In this phase, researcher Juan Daniel Monets and his team focused on A. velasci.
 
Thanks to funding from the MBZ Fund, they embarked on a field campaign to gather critical environmental data, tissue samples, and swabs from various locations in Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and Jalisco. These samples will undergo thorough laboratory analysis to identify the threats impacting these populations, allowing us to develop effective conservation strategies tailored for success.
 
In addition to our scientific efforts, they also engaged with local communities near the sampling sites. By raising awareness about the importance of protecting these unique species and their habitats, they are creating a culture of conservation that is vital for the long-term survival of these organisms.

The Elephant Listening Project is a groundbreaking initiative led by Daniela Hedwig from the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at Cornell University, supported by Ivonne Kienast and Michael Boungalo on the ground. Their mission is to support conservation efforts for forest elephants and other endangered wildlife in the Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas of the Central African Republic.
 
Thanks to support from the MBZ Fund, they have acquired essential acoustic monitoring equipment, including recording units and data storage media. This funding has also enabled them to deploy a skilled local African team dedicated to advancing and expanding the use of acoustic monitoring as a powerful tool for conserving elephants and combating gun-hunting.
 
The project has made significant strides in a remarkably short time. Over 25 locals have been trained to install and monitor the 23 deployed units, with an additional 21 units scheduled for deployment by September. Currently, the team is monitoring gunshot activity and elephant vocalisations but will include monkeys and bird diversity in the near future.
