Sumatran Orangutan
The objective is to establish a new safety-net population of orangutans in Sumatra through the rehabilitation and release of confiscated individuals. This project will allow us to release 15 individuals by June, 2014. After release SOCP will protect and monitor these orangutans by maintaining our onsite veterinarian and employing local staff to survey their foraging and nest-building behaviours, health, and reproductive fitness.

Livingstone's fuit bat
The Endangered Livingstone's Fruit Bat, endemic to two islands in the Comoros archipelago, is under threat due to anthropogenic pressure on long-term roost sites. This project will work with landowners and village management committees to devise and pilot an innovative Payment for Ecosystem Services scheme to protect key roost sites. The scheme will be integrated within wider integrated landscape management planning to ensure sustainability.

Darien Black spider monkey
We are Monitoring primates species that are Critically Endangered. We are running the first long term study in Panama using a new method to set camera traps at 10 m elevation, the Orion Camera System (OCS), which will be published soon in an international scientific journal. The project is the first studying the arboreal mammals for long period in Panama with12% of our fauna.

Fishing cat
Fishing cats (IUCN: Endangered) occur in fragmented populations throughout their range. We are working on investigating the occurrence and distribution of fishing cats in the coastal wetlands of northeastern Andhra Pradesh, India. With the use of wildlife cameras and local awareness, we are creating a fishing cat conservation initiative that will help protect fishing cats and their habitat.
