Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12254928) - Pickersgill's Reed Frog - Awarded $12,000 on December 23, 2012
23-12-2012 - Pickersgill's Reed Frog

Pickersgill's Reed Frog, Hyperolius pickersgilli, is endemic to the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and known from only 18 sites. It is globally Critically Endangered due to severe habitat fragmentation and ongoing decline in the quality of remaining localities. The Pickersgill's Reed Frog Recovery Project aims to protect key habitat through engaging with all relevant role players and creating awareness about this unique species.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12055197) - Itambe's Bromeliad Frog - Awarded $4,400 on December 23, 2012
23-12-2012 - Itambe's Bromeliad Frog

The effects of climate change on amphibian population in Brazil are poorly understood. This project will develop a long-term monitoring protocol to evaluate the effects of climate variables on populations of a new mountaintop amphibian species at Pico do Itambe and will address future conservation priorities focusing highland ecosystems within the Espinhaço Range, at Southeastern Brazil.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12254474) - Golden Mantella - Awarded $7,000 on September 23, 2012
23-09-2012 - Golden Mantella

The golden mantella is a critically endangered frog, endemic to Moramanga district in Eastern Madagascar. This project aims to (i) determine the plant composition of the golden mantella breeding ponds and adjacent forests, (ii) determine the physical characteristics of the breeding ponds and (iii) restore the breeding ponds damaged by illegal gold mining. It will be carried out in Mangabe forest, southern Moramanga.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12253971) - Olm - Awarded $8,000 on May 24, 2012
24-05-2012 - Olm

Within this project we dived into the deep darkness of one of the last unknown places of Europe-the Croatian underground. We visited caves that no one has ever seen and managed to estimate some of the largest populations of olm and pinpoint areas for strict protection. Our goal was to set up long term olm monitoring and to raise environmental awareness among local people.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12253920) - Kerala Indian Frog (KIF) - Awarded $12,000 on May 24, 2012
24-05-2012 - Kerala Indian Frog (KIF)

Little is known about Walkerana phrynoderma, a frog endemic to the Anamalai Hills of the Western Ghats of India. We collected baseline information (i.e., distribution, threats, habitat characteristics, activity patterns, and relative abundance) on species, with the aim of improving our understanding of the status of the species in the wild.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12053478) - Sahon'orana - Awarded $2,000 on May 23, 2012
23-05-2012 - Sahon'orana

Scaphiophryne gottlebei and Mantella expectata are two endemics species of Isalo especially in the buffer zone where forest degradation increases every day. Our scientific (distribution and structure study) and social (sensitization on environmental protection and improvement of livelihood) projects are focused on this zone.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 11053060) - Archey's frog - Awarded $2,900 on January 04, 2012
04-01-2012 - Archey's frog

New Zealand's native Archey's frog is number one on the amphibian EDGE list. It is threatened by predation from introduced mammals. To assess the level of predation we have developed molecular techniques to identify frog prey in small mammals diets, as traditional approaches were unreliable. So far these have been successful and can also be applied to any predator-prey diet study.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 11253191) - Wendy’s forest toad - Awarded $10,000 on November 13, 2011
13-11-2011 - Wendy’s forest toad

Conservation assessment of endemic tropical montane amphibians in Uzungwa Scarp, East Africa. The study aimed to relocate and verify the habitat of three target species of anuran. One species was successfully relocated and demonstrated a range expansion beyond previous records. Two species remained elusive after two years of surveys.
