The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund has awarded $27,994,167 to 2979 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.
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.
View project
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.
View project
Socorro Dove
The habitat restoration program supported by the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund will aid the reintroduction of the Socorro Dove (Zenaida graysoni) by allowing the recovery and growth of areas formerly inhabited by the species and destroyed by sheep overgrazing. Facilities will pvovide the Revillagigedo Archipelago Biosphere Reserve with a constant production of seedlings to restore Socorro Island to a near pristine condition.
View project
Norfolk Island parakeet
The objective of the project is to determine the size of the endemic Tasman parakeet population on Norfolk Island and to detect if a recent population crash has occurred. This will lead to proposals for remedial conservation measures. The project will develop and trial survey methods for Tasman parakeets and collect other ecological information that will form the basis of monitoring and recovery efforts.
View project
Siberian Crane
Illegal hunting is the primary cause of the decline of the Critically Endangered Siberian Crane. This project promotes widespread public education to hunters in Central Asian countries to improve understanding of the Siberian Crane and its habitats. Relationships are fostered with hunters who were trained to identify species correctly, choose to avoid hunting cranes, report crane sightings and to be involved in crane conservation.

Maui Parrotbill or Kiwikiu
This year, a new 600 hectare natural area reserve, Nakula, was designated by the State of Hawaii, and is currently being fenced. While no Kiwikiu (Maui Parrotbill) currently exist in this reserve, the goal is to restore the forest and reintroduce Kiwikiu to this part of Maui.
