23-12-2013 - Curryfish
Tropical sea cucumbers are harvested for the "bêche-de-mer" product (dried body wall). Due to the severe lack of knowledge on the biology and ecology of many sea cucumbers, they are in a perilous state of conservation. Populations are rapidly declining worldwide, with over 70% of tropical sea cucumber fisheries deemed exploited and depleted. We wish to better understand their population dynamics and ecosystem function.

30-09-2013 - Trapdoor spider
Cantuaria are ancient trapdoor spiders that live only in New Zealand. Their small, dense populations are found in undisturbed patches of grassland and forest. As spiderlings, each builds a burrow and remains inside for its entire life. The patchy distribution of Cantuaria, and their inability to travel far, may make them unable to recover from habitat loss and fragmentation due to human activity.

30-09-2013 - White-clawed crayfish
The white-clawed crayfish is endangered throughout its range in the UK and rest of Europe and is a keystone species of river habitats. The project will aim to optimise captive breeding techniques to produce healthy bood stock for supplementation of wild populations and setting up ark sites (safe havens). Long-term genetic monitoring of broodstock and ark sites will assess population health.

30-09-2013 - Polynesian tree snail, 'areho' in Tahitian
Dozens of species of Polynesian tree snails (Partula) are extinct due to predation by a carnivorous snail introduced as a failed biological control attempt. However, a number of species were rescued from French Polynesian islands and have been maintained in an international breeding programme. The objective of this project is to initiate reestablishment of species extinct in the wild back into their home range.

29-05-2013 - Seychelles Crested Groundhopper
Insects, which are endemic to islands are often highly threatened by changes of their environment. Several grasshoppers, crickets and bush-crickets endemic to the Seychelles are listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Our aim is to map the distribution of these species, particularly the Seychelles Crested Groundhopper (Coptottigia cristata) and the Seychelles Wingless Grasshopper (Procytettix fusiformis) and start a habitat restoration ...

29-05-2013 - Great Raft Spider
Our project is dedicated to rare European spider species Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) (great raft spider) in Belarus. The main goal of our work is to find sites where this species is present to register them officially (create microreserves) and provide conservation activities that will give a chance to save great raft spider not only in Belarus but in the whole Europe.
