Darevsky's Viper
Conservation of threatened Turkish Vipers: Field work to find range limits, contact zones between related species, relevant ecological correlates for each species, and genetic work to investigate any interspecific gene flow.

Save Microberlinia bisulcata
Efforts to save Microberlinia bisulcata a CR and endemic species of Mt Cameroon has failed because of ignorance of its conservation, the lack of resources for effective monitoring and the absence of a legal restriction on the logging of the species.
We will thus address this through sensitization, empowerment of local authorities to protect it and a circular to restrict logging of the species.
