Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 14258950) - Bonobo - Awarded $12,500 on September 16, 2014
16-09-2014 - Bonobo

We have been working in close partnership with Congolese partners at Lilungu since 2005. Strengthening bonobo monitoring and protection programs and supporting the local community in gaining official legal protection for their forest will be a milestone for bonobo conservation. Anchoring protection at this strategically located site will link a critical corridor between key bonobo sites, helping to ensure long-term survival of bonobos.

We are looking for the conservation strategy appropriate to the greater big-footed mouse in the dry forest of Ankarafantsika National Park.This species is listed as endangered species because it's only found in Ankarafantsika National Park Madagascar and it is victim of pressures (human acivities, predator). So, it's important and urgent to adopt and apply a conservation strategy.
