Conservation education is seen as a priority long-term action for the conservation of chimpanzees and wildlife. Nature clubs can play a vital role in changing attitudes towards the intrinsic value of wildlife. The WCF created nature clubs called Club P.A.N. in schools around Tai National Park / Côte d’Ivoire and schools in Boké / Guinea as a long-term conservation approach oriented towards the next generation.

This project deals with identification of hotspots of human-leopard conflicts, better understanding of underlying causes and description of conflict patterns in Golestan National Park of north-eastern Iran. Harbouring 23-42 individuals and covering an area of 874 km2, this park has been a major habitat for the globally endangered Persian leopard in the entire Middle East.

Assessment of conflict between Human and Critically Endangered Asiatic black bear, in its westernmost global extent is the main objective of this project. Extensive field survey, scat analysis, local communities interviewing and workshops holding in high conflict areas, are among planned activities to identify the type and the size of the conflicts and finding local solutions due to reduction of Human-bear conflict.

Project work focuses on the loss of particular tree species in Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda, as a result of anthropogenic activities. By identifying those trees which are being steadily lost from the forest but which provide essential nutrients to the chimpanzees and other primates in the forest, we aim to promote their conservation, mainly by increasing awareness in local communities.

We are the first to support the Indus Blind Dolphin at grass root level by involving local people in conservation activities. We aware and motivate local community for voluntary participation in conservation activities. We also encourage young students and civil society to play their role in the protection and conservation of Indus River Dolphin.

Until recently, in Peru the bald uakari was only known from the eastern lowlands near the Ucayali River. Recently, Proyecto Mono Tocón discovered a population of uakaris in the mountains of northern San Martin. The discovery of the uakaris in the mountains of San Martin is of great biographic and conservation interest. This project was initiated to collect more data on their distributional range.

The Geoffroy’s spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi vellerosus) is listed as Critically Endangered at the IUCN Red List of Threaten Species due to the population decline with over 50% for the last 45 years. There is only a small and fragmented population in El Salvador. A high possibility for inbreeding depression exists due to the small size of the population which can reduced adaptation capacity.

The Bonobo and Congo Biodiversity Initiative (BCBI) focuses on the study and protection of bonobos and forest elephants in the Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo. To curtail ivory poaching along the Yenge River, BCBI is working with the ICCN (Congo's park authority) to establish and operate a new patrol post at Lotulo - the first-ever along the Yenge and in this wildlife-rich area.

The Indri (Indri indri) is a highly recognizable lemur species due to their distinct black and white pelage, black tufted ears, and unmistakable male/female duetting calls. Indri are endangered due to anthropogenic disturbances such as hunting, deforestation and slash-and-burn farming. Indri are among the 25 most endangered primates but, we will contribute to their conservation by gaining an understanding of their behavioral ecology.
