javan leopard

Javan leopard (Panthera pardus melas) is a Critical endangered (IUCN) species and protected by Indonesian law. And this is the last remain Java big carnivore. Its existence more threatened since there was lack of data regard to its distribution and population, also the habitat fragmentation and land-use transformation. People need to be more aware about this species and conservation act need be done.

Greater big-footed mouse

The greater big-footed mouse is endemic in Madagascar. Its habitats are disturbed by human activities and predation. Studies of its movements and territory occupation have been carried out in Ankarafantsika to adopt appropriate conservation strategy. Surveys of this species have been carried out on October by using capture-mark-recapture. A measurement of few habitat variables has been performed to understand its habitat preference.

Chinese Pangolin

My research seeks to understand the ecology and biology of pangolin (e.g. habitat requirement, home range, reproduction parameters, mating systems, seasonal predation, and mortality) using radio telemetry, camera trapping, and dietary content techniques.

Snow leopard

The population of Snow Leopard is declining because of habitat degradation and fragmentation, reduction in natural prey due to illegal hunting as well as competition with livestock, retaliatory killing of snow leopard, lack of awareness and lack of trans-boundary efforts. This project aims to minimize the human-snow leopard conflict through local people's participation in highland of Dolpa region.

Uganda Mangabey

Uganda mangabeys occur in a few forests in Uganda and are so threatened that they appear to have disappeared even in some of the forests where they were known to occur as recently as three years ago. This project is conducting an inventory of their presence and absence in different sites and is habituating groups in one of the forests with major populations for tourism.

Tonkin Snub-nosed monkey

Tonkin Snub-nosed Monkey is confined to a few areas in Viet Nam. The species is listed in IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered and it is experiencing a continuing decline. Khau Ca – Du Gia area contains the largest population of the species. This project aims to update the species profile and ranger skill training in Khau Ca - Du Gia area.

Little spotted cat

Despite the wide distribution on brazilian territory, the little-spotted-cat (Leopardus tigrinus) has never been very well studied. The goals of this Project are estimate density population and home range size of this endangered species on Serra do Tabuleiro State Park, one of the largest protected areas in southern Brazil. The results will be important for conservation action to neotropical small wildcats in Brazil.

Dwarf olive ibis

The Island of Sao Tome, in the Gulf of Guinea, supports 3 bird species that face a high risk of extinction. They can't be found anywhere else in the world save the High Conservation Value Forests in the south of the island. This project aims to guarantee the long-term survival of the 3 birds; the Dwarf Olive Ibis, Sao Tome Fiscal and Sao Tome Grosbeak.

Royal Cinclodes

The critically endangered Royal Cinclodes and the endangered Ash-breasted Tit-tyrant are threatened by the ongoing destruction of its main habitat (Polylepis pepei forest). We focused our efforts to protect the last forest fragments in the community of Pongo, and we also helped to strengthen cooperation between this community and the protected area of Cotapata to protect these remaining and very important high Andean ecosystem.
