Itambe's Bromeliad Frog
The effects of climate change on amphibian population in Brazil are poorly understood. This project will develop a long-term monitoring protocol to evaluate the effects of climate variables on populations of a new mountaintop amphibian species at Pico do Itambe and will address future conservation priorities focusing highland ecosystems within the Espinhaço Range, at Southeastern Brazil.

Black Rhino
The objective of this project is to assess, monitor and model the population dynamics of the current Black rhino population in Majete Wildlife Reserve and to determine the carrying capacity of the reserve for the species prior to further re-introductions. This will include determining territory and home range establishment, calving rates, distances travelled to find suitable browsing, and the overall health of the founder population

Greater Adjutant
Greater adjutant makes nesting colonies in outside the State owned protected area network in Assam and community conservation initiatives are the key for saving this bird from the extinction threat. A successfull community conservation programme was initiated in the traditional nesting colony.Nest numbers has increased in the key nesting colony locations. State wide status survey was completed after a gap of 18 years.

Sumatran orangutan
Human-orangutan conflict is a serious and growing threat to this critically endangered species. As farmlands encroach into forest areas, orangutans become trapped and isolated, often resorting to crop-raiding for survival. This project evacuates orangutans in danger, returning them to safe forests, works with farmers to reduce and avoid the causes of conflict, and supports law enforcement for the protection of orangutans and their forests.

Tamaraw, Mindoro dwarf buffalo
The Tamaraw, a dwarf buffalo endemic to the Philippine island of Mindoro, is now restricted to few isolated mountainous spots. Survival options for this critically endangered species are limited due to increasing human pressures. The project shall collect field-based data on current distribution range and threats. It aims at implementing consistent solutions to protect the Tamaraw in the long term.

Medium Tree Finch
Darwin's Medium Tree Finch (Camarhynchus pauper) is a critically endangered passerine only found on Floreana Island (Galapagos). Its survival is being threatened by a introduced parasitic fly whose larvae fed on finch nestlings and caused 98% nestling mortality in 2010 and 2012. This project aims to contribute to the development of control measures for the fly to secure the survival of this endangered bird.

Black Rhinoceros
The Somkhanda Community Conservation Project works to ensure the continued success of rhinoceros conservation efforts in the tribally-owned Somkhanda Game Reserve by training local rhino monitors and conservation educators, and employing them to work in the reserve and its surrounding communities. Educators teach about the deleterious effects of poaching, and generate support for biodiversity conservation that can provide long term benefits to ...

Darien Black spider monkey
The project will observe behaviour of Ateles fusciceps rufiventris living in connected forest and will compare with Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis's data previously collected in fragmented habitat.
We will obtain group structure and population dynamic data by direct observations and camera traps located at canopy. Variables resultants will lead futures plan of management for monkeys living in fragmented forest.

West African chimpanzee
Conservation education is seen as a priority long-term action for the conservation of chimpanzees and wildlife. Nature clubs can play a vital role in changing attitudes towards the intrinsic value of wildlife. The WCF created nature clubs called Club P.A.N. in schools around Tai National Park / Côte d’Ivoire and schools in Boké / Guinea as a long-term conservation approach oriented towards the next generation.
