The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund has awarded $19,505,573 to 2094 conservation
projects for all species types with all IUCN classifications throughout the world.
Project managers that have decided to publish their projects, are illustrated on the map below.
Giant tri-coloured African millipede
Assessment of distribution and conservation of the giant African millipede Pelmatojulus tectus re-discovered after 120 years in Littoral forest, Cameroon
View project
Malabar Torrent Toad
Understanding the ecology and conservation priorities of the endangered Ghatophryne ornata (Gunther,1876) through research and community participation.
View project
Negros bleeding-heart dove
Bristol Zoological Society is leading a vital project to save the Critically Endangered Negros bleeding-heart dove (Gallicolumba keayi), a species endemic to Negros and Panay island in the Philippines. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for the decline of this elusive species. The population survey and threats mapping of the area will be critical to create a Conservation Action Plan and implement evidence-based conservation actions.
View project
giant ground pangolin
Distribution, habitat modeling and conservation status of pangolins (Manidae) in Mbam and Djerem National Park, Centre-Cameroon
View project
Black-handed Spider Monkey
There is a newly discovered population of the Central American spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) in eastern El Salvador. Recent research has demonstrated that the spider monkeys from this region are genetically unique and also critically endangered. Through regular observations of the spider monkeys and by mapping their range, we are creating a foundation for future, long-term conservation efforts.
View project
Oncilla
The oncilla or tigrina is a rare small wild cat listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, and as endangered by the Costa Rican environmental authorities. In this project we will define priority areas for the conservation of oncilla at the time we will also assess the conservation status of this probably unique species endemic to the highlands of Costa Rica and Panama.
View project
Shelf fungi
Monitoring of very rare fungus species Buglossoporus magnus for conservation action in old growth lowland rainforests of Sarawak.
View project
Welwitschia
Filling the gap of knowledge for a science-based assessment of the conservation status for an iconic species (i.e. Welwitschia mirabilis).
View project
African Violet
Conservation of a critically endangered African violet through the management of its pollinator diversity in Taita Hills, Kenya
View project
Antarctic Toothfish
Antarctic toothfish, the top predator in the deep waters of the Southern Ocean, has gained a tremendous attraction to legal and illegal fishery due to its high commercial value. The project aims at improving the knowledge of the life cycle and population genetic structure of this large, long-lived species to prevent overfishing and foster its conservation within and outside of Antarctic marine protected areas.
