Fishing Cat
The study focuses on examining the ecology and behaviour of the endangered fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) in the urban wetland habitats found in the Colombo metropolitan area. This habitat is currently under threat, due to severe habitat destruction caused by rapid urban development. Our project hopes to use the relationship these cats have with their urban surroundings to help promote green infrastructure development practices.

European Maple Longicorn
The Romanian Longicorn beetle project is the first study in Romania to evaluate the distribution and abundance of saproxylic beetles in traditionally-maintained landscapes, ultimately providing conservation and management guidelines for endangered, threatened, and data deficient beetles. Along with ecological information on longicorn community composition, species richness, and abundance, the information gathered will be used to evaluate current ...

Iberian toothcarp
The Iberian toothcarp is an endemic species from Iberian Peninsula distributed over twenty isolated populations along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Andalusia population inhabits natural and artificial habitats in the medium-lower basin of the Adra River. These habitats are degraded by human uses and activities. We will evaluate the main threats and promote management measures to restore and conserve the species' habitats.
