We found 7.77 million animal species… that’s the number believed to roam our planet? Each one plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy, balanced ecosystem, contributing to environmental stability and enriching our lives. From the tiniest insects to massive mammals, every creature has its unique purpose.
Many species face the threat of extinction, disappearing before our eyes. This World Animal Day, show your love and let’s take a moment to celebrate the incredible diversity of animals and the essential roles they play in our world.
لقد اكتشفنا 7.77 مليون نوع من الحيوانات… نعم، هذا هو الرقم الذي يُعتقد أنه يتجوّل كوكبنا! كل كائن منها يلعب دورًا حيويًا في الحفاظ على نظام بيئي صحي متوازن يساهم في استقرار كوكب الأرض ويُضفي جمالًا ومعنى على حياتنا. من أصغر الحشرات إلى أضخم الثدييات، لكل مخلوق مهمة فريدة لا يمكن الاستغناء عنها.
الكثير من هذه الأنواع تواجه خطر الانقراض، وتختفي من أمام أعيننا بسرعة. في يوم الحيوانات العالمي، دعونا نُظهر حبنا لهذه الكائنات الرائعة، ونتوقف للحظة لنتأمل في التنوع المذهل للحيوانات والأدوار الحاسمة التي تؤديها في حياتنا وعالمنا.

The story of Faith Tadeo and his research team`s journey supported by the MBZF in search of the elusive Oryzias luzonensis, locally known as Coscosleng, is truly remarkable.
The project began a year ago, but it encountered numerous challenges along the way. The team faced travel constraints that led to the departure of key members. Despite their best efforts, they had not seen the fish in 12 months. During the final interview before concluding the project, a local recognized the fish from a book and mentioned seeing it in her brother`s catch. They returned to the village and found six Coscosleng fish among a 6-kilogram catch that morning, a discovery thanks to a close collaboration the local community.
Unfortunately, in this area, there is no distinction made based on the IUCN status of the fish and all fish are regarded as a source of food. More efforts are needed to educate the community and develop effective conservation action plans to preserve Oryziasluzonensis.

With the incredible support of The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund and other partner donors, a groundbreaking SAVE Brasil project has achieved a remarkable feat – the successful rearing of another Blue-eyed Ground-Dove puppy (Columbina cyanopis).
This species is considered one of the most endangered birds on Earth, with an estimated population of fewer than 30 individuals left. In collaboration with Parque das Aves, a dedicated ex-situ population is being established, igniting a beacon of hope for the rescue of this precious species.
The funding provided by MBZ have not only facilitated the establishment of a nurturing nestling room but also enabled crucial annual censuses and habitat preservation efforts for the Blue-eyed Ground-Dove.

This episode of MBZ’s Conservation Calls is roaring with excitement as we explore how Panthera and project partner Sintas Indonesia are mitigating human-wild cat conflict in the Leuser Ecosystem.
This UNESCO World Heritage site is a vast area where humans and wild cats, including the elusive Sumatran Tiger, share the land. Panthera is working tirelessly to promote a harmonious co-existence.
Are they making progress? Tune in to the episode in the @speciesconservationfund bio to find out! And remember to like, follow and share with your friends…

Founded in 1999 by dedicated local residents, the Friends of Arabuko-Sokoke Forest emerged in an effort to protect East Africa’s largest last stretch of dry coastal forest. Over the past two decades, they have broadened their mission to protect the endangered Golden-rumped sengi, and other endemic and threatened species of plants and wildlife.
Their conservation efforts include community scouts conducting daily forest protection patrols, removing illegal snares and traps, charcoal kilns, while implementing SMART monitoring in one of East Africa’s most unique ecosystems.
With the generous support of The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, they have successfully removed an impressive 2,834 snares and covered 29,218 kilometers on foot and by road during patrols in Arabuko Sokoke Forest.
This vital support not only enhances the health of the forest, but also empowers the passionate team of community scouts, who are tirelessly combating habitat destruction from poaching and illegal logging.

The Latimojong Mountains, home to the majestic peak of Rante Mario, stand as the highest mountain in Sulawesi and the natural habitat of the Mountain Anoa, an endemic and endangered species.
The Anoa could serve as a flagship species in the future establishment of Latimojong National Park, emphasizing the importance of conservation in this region.
With support from the MBZF, Celebica Conservation Action is dedicated to assessing the population status and distribution of the Mountain Anoa, evaluating the condition of its habitat, and engaging with local communities to gather essential population data.
Protecting the Latimojong ecosystem and the Mountain Anoa requires a collective effort, but by working together, we can give this unique species a fighting chance to survive.

Shawati’ magazine is striking, sumptuous, and thought-provoking, reflecting the national identity and cultural values of the country while bridging connections with cultures from around the world. Shawati` delves into local, regional, and global initiatives united by a common mission: saving our planet Earth.
It’s fitting to feature the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, along with an insightful interview with our Managing Director, H.E. Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak, highlighting stories from the over 2,800 projects to save species and supported by the Fund over the past 15 years.
Thank you, Shawati’, for beautifully capturing the essence and spirit of our mission.

MBZF is supporting American Bird Conservancy (ABC) and their Brazilian conservation partner Aquasis to restore the endangered Gray-breasted Parakeet in the protected Serra das Almas Forest Reserve. Since 2010, they’ve implemented a nest box program in the Baturité Mountains, leading to a significant population increase over the past six years.
Due to deforestation and the European pet trade, this species was reduced to a single viable population of fewer than 100 individuals by 2007, when it was listed as Critically Endangered. To prevent extinction, the team is translocating individuals to re-establish local populations in their historical range.
With support from MBZF, they are now applying lessons learned to create a third safeguarded population in the Serra das Almas Forest Reserve, which protects 4,750 hectares of forest.
