Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 11053036) - Mouse-tailed Dormouse, Roach's - Awarded $4,000 on January 04, 2012
04-01-2012 - Mouse-tailed Dormouse, Roach's

The Mouse-tailed Dormouse is one of the rarest and least known mammal species in Europe. This project gathered data on species ranging behavior, activity and habitat use in European Turkey and Southeastern Bulgaria, using radio-tracking methods for fist time on this species. DNA material was collected for population genetics analysis, and project results were disseminated through publications, presentations and media.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 11253080) - Mexican long-nosed bat - Awarded $10,000 on January 04, 2012
04-01-2012 - Mexican long-nosed bat

The Mexican long-nosed bat is highly susceptible to extinction because is a food and habitat specialist, roosts in caves, and is migratory. Pregnant females of this bat migrate every spring from central Mexico to the south-western United States following the blooms of century plants. We aim to understand the status of the bat’s migratory corridor and identify critical sites necessary to maintain viable populations.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 11253049) - Ridley's leaf-nosed bat; Ridley's round-leafed bat - Awarded $10,000 on January 04, 2012
04-01-2012 - Ridley's leaf-nosed bat; Ridley's round-leafed bat

Ridley’s leaf-nosed bat is one of the most threatened bat species in Southeast Asia, reported from a few undisturbed forests on the Malay peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. Throughout its range this bat is increasingly threatened by habitat loss. Our goal is to determine whether this species, and 45 other forest-dependent bats, can ultimately persist in forests degraded by logging and isolated by oil palm agriculture.
