04-01-2012 - Mouse-tailed Dormouse, Roach's
The Mouse-tailed Dormouse is one of the rarest and least known mammal species in Europe. This project gathered data on species ranging behavior, activity and habitat use in European Turkey and Southeastern Bulgaria, using radio-tracking methods for fist time on this species. DNA material was collected for population genetics analysis, and project results were disseminated through publications, presentations and media.

04-01-2012 - Pear sp.
FFI works to conserve threatened tree species in the Childukhtaron region of Tajikistan. A baseline survey supported by MBZ found sporadic, declining presence of critically endangered pear species, Pyrus tadshikistanica and Pyrus korshinskyi, which are threatened by cutting, over-grazing, harvesting and sapling collection for root stock. This project will conduct a survey, threat analysis and workshops to develop a species conservation action ...

04-01-2012 - White-rumped vulture
White-rumped Vulture population has declined catastrophically across South-Asia, with a decline of over 91% in Nepal, due to widespread use of veterinary diclofenac. Despite ban on veterinary diclofenac in 2006, larger than 3ml vials are still available. The project aims to discourage illegal use of diclofenac (>3ml) vial in veterinary use by limiting these to ≤3ml and sensitizing local communities, veterinary practitioners and government ...

The project aims to protect the critically endangered Irrawaddy dolphins in the Mahakam River and in process of establishing a community-supported dolphin reserve. Furthermore financial and technical aid have been provided in sustainable fisheries and ecotourism sector in the dolphin PAs. Finally, environmental education courses on sustainable resource use and wildlife protection in wetlands habitats are provided for local schools.

04-01-2012 - Ridley's leaf-nosed bat; Ridley's round-leafed bat
Ridley’s leaf-nosed bat is one of the most threatened bat species in Southeast Asia, reported from a few undisturbed forests on the Malay peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. Throughout its range this bat is increasingly threatened by habitat loss. Our goal is to determine whether this species, and 45 other forest-dependent bats, can ultimately persist in forests degraded by logging and isolated by oil palm agriculture.

04-01-2012 - Pileated gibbon
Cambodia's most prevalent species of wild ape, pileated gibbons are increasingly threatened by poaching, deforestation and the wildlife trade. This project enabled Wildlife Alliance to survey prospective gibbon release sites, receive government approval to release gibbons into the forest surrounding Angkor Wat, select a breeding pair and conduct environmental awareness and educational activities with local communities.

04-01-2012 - Giant mottled eel
Despite its cultural and commercial importance, the diversity and life history of freshwater eels in the Philippines can be defined as data deficient, and thus need of assessment. This projects aims to provide an insight into the current conservation status of these species in the Northern Philippines region.

This project is mainly focused on the conservation of Asia endemic primate, Phayre's Leaf Monkey (Trachypithecus phayrei). Global population is decreasing due to combination of habitat degradation and hunting pressures. Main objective is to find out threats affecting the survival of Phayre's Leaf Monkey in Myanmar and to provide the management strategies for conservation work.

26-10-2011 - Javan Hawk Eagle
Locality records of Javan Hawk –Eagle (Spizaetus bartelsi) are not only in conservation area but also recorded in non-conservation area. One of the area is on forested area along Pekalongan Regency.
From the survey, the Javan Hawk-Eagle is recorded in four locations are: Jolotigo, Tinalum, Linggoasri and Mendolo. Number populations of JHE in the areas estimated approximately on 9-11 individuals or 3-4 pairs.
