Mapping the distribution of the endangered Risiocnemis antoniae (Platycnemididae: Odonata) presently found in Mt. Hamiguitan Wildlife Sanctuary (newly declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014) will provide a vital piece of information towards its conservation. Knowing that ‘Extinction is forever' WE believed that this species is worth saving.

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.
