Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12255538) - Little spotted cat - Awarded $10,650 on June 17, 2013
17-06-2013 - Little spotted cat

Despite the wide distribution on brazilian territory, the little-spotted-cat (Leopardus tigrinus) has never been very well studied. The goals of this Project are estimate density population and home range size of this endangered species on Serra do Tabuleiro State Park, one of the largest protected areas in southern Brazil. The results will be important for conservation action to neotropical small wildcats in Brazil.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12255396) - Cao Vit Gibbon or Eastern Black Crested Gibbon - Awarded $10,000 on December 23, 2012
23-12-2012 - Cao Vit Gibbon or Eastern Black Crested Gibbon

The Critically Endangered Cao Vit gibbon has long been extinct in most of its former range in north-eastern Vietnam, largely due to hunting. The population is currently estimated at 100-110 individuals. FFI and its partners will work to enhance the capacity of conservation authorities and community teams to perform effective monitoring, and to increase public awareness of the plight of the species and its habitat.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12255374) - Black and white ruffed lemur - Awarded $12,500 on December 23, 2012
23-12-2012 - Black and white ruffed lemur

This project of conservation of Vohibe forest and all its biodiversity such as Varecia variegate, a Critically Endangered (CR A4cd) according to the IUCN Redlist, involve local community in all aspects to ensure its sustainability. The fact to reinforce the capacity of the community and the use of means of transmission of message adaptable to the reality increase their awareness among biodiversity conservation.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12255315) - Bornean Orangutan - Awarded $10,000 on December 23, 2012
23-12-2012 - Bornean Orangutan

Orang-utans are increasingly found outside of protected areas, in forests and agriculture lands that are exploited by people. By better understanding how and to which extent the species can adapt to man-made landscapes, we will be in a position to design better conservation strategies for the species.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12254826) - Black Rhino - Awarded $12,000 on December 23, 2012
23-12-2012 - Black Rhino

The objective of this project is to assess, monitor and model the population dynamics of the current Black rhino population in Majete Wildlife Reserve and to determine the carrying capacity of the reserve for the species prior to further re-introductions. This will include determining territory and home range establishment, calving rates, distances travelled to find suitable browsing, and the overall health of the founder population

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12255066) - Sumatran orangutan - Awarded $12,500 on December 20, 2012
20-12-2012 - Sumatran orangutan

Human-orangutan conflict is a serious and growing threat to this critically endangered species. As farmlands encroach into forest areas, orangutans become trapped and isolated, often resorting to crop-raiding for survival. This project evacuates orangutans in danger, returning them to safe forests, works with farmers to reduce and avoid the causes of conflict, and supports law enforcement for the protection of orangutans and their forests.

20-12-2012 - Tamaraw, Mindoro dwarf buffalo

The Tamaraw, a dwarf buffalo endemic to the Philippine island of Mindoro, is now restricted to few isolated mountainous spots. Survival options for this critically endangered species are limited due to increasing human pressures. The project shall collect field-based data on current distribution range and threats. It aims at implementing consistent solutions to protect the Tamaraw in the long term.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12254996) - Black Rhinoceros - Awarded $12,500 on December 20, 2012
20-12-2012 - Black Rhinoceros

The Somkhanda Community Conservation Project works to ensure the continued success of rhinoceros conservation efforts in the tribally-owned Somkhanda Game Reserve by training local rhino monitors and conservation educators, and employing them to work in the reserve and its surrounding communities. Educators teach about the deleterious effects of poaching, and generate support for biodiversity conservation that can provide long term benefits to ...

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12055182) - Darien Black spider monkey  - Awarded $8,500 on December 20, 2012
20-12-2012 - Darien Black spider monkey

The project will observe behaviour of Ateles fusciceps rufiventris living in connected forest and will compare with Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis's data previously collected in fragmented habitat. We will obtain group structure and population dynamic data by direct observations and camera traps located at canopy. Variables resultants will lead futures plan of management for monkeys living in fragmented forest.
