Squeaker catfish
The project's primary goal is to conserve the Critically Endangered Squeaker catfish (Synodontis macrophthalmus) in Ghana's Volta Lake. It gathers vital data on population, distribution, threats, and habitat to support conservation efforts. By focusing on habitat protection and raising awareness among fishing communities, the project also aims to contribute to the recovery of the Synodontis macrophthalmus population.

Mt Kenya Bush Viper
Atheris desaixi is an endemic species to Kenya and having been only recorded in three localities, Chuka, Ngaya and Nyambene hills forests at an altitude of about 1300-1700m. Gives birth to live young ones. Always found camouflaged in bushes 2-4m above the ground. Its population keeps on declining due to habitat destruction and illegal collection for the pet trade.

Trichogenes claviger
The objectives of current research are to detect the presence of the Caetés catfish, Trichogenes claviger, in isolated rivers along the upper Rio Caxixe and Rio Fruteiras, tributaries of Rio Itapemirim in Espírito Santo mountains, Brazil. Employng the metabarcoding approach, through environmental DNA. We aim to locate existing populations of this species, figured on the IUCN redlist, as a critically endangered freshwater catfish.

Pumpkin toadlet
Understanding the role of microclime in future distribution and behaviour of the small pumpkin-toadlet Brachycephalus mirissimus. In this project, we will use acoustic monitoring and modelling to study the role of altitudinal and altitudinal gradient in this microendemic species under climate change scenarios to propose conservation actions.
