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.
Amani Flatwing
The Amani Flatwing is one of the world's rarest dragonflies, threatened with extinction due to its restricted range and its small population in the Usambara Mts. To secure the species' survival on earth a workshop was jointly organized by Eustack Mtui from theTanzanian Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) and Dr. Viola Clausnitzer from Senckenberg, Germany.

Kerinci's frog
Kerinci's Frog listed as Data Deficient because the data about this frog is not enough and need any research about ecology of this species. This species only found at central sumatera at above 1200 asl.

Softshell tortoise
The pancake tortoise (Malacochersus tornieri) is endemic to East African savannah. Its inherent low reproduction, restricted range, patchy distribution and limited dispersal ability coupled with anthropogenic habitat degradation potentially threatens the species survival. The aim of the project is to document effects of human habitat degradation on the species populations and genetic structure. This will advance ecological insights necessary to ...

Juan Fernandez diving beetle
Anisomeria bistriata is endemic to Juan Fernandez islands in the Pacific, off the Chilean coast. It has, to our knowledge, not been surveyed in over a century. Our goals therefore are: - Visit the islands to establish if the species still exists. If so: - Describe its adult and if possible larval habitat. - Assess to which degree the species faces anthropogenic threats.

Taita apalis
The Taita hills are a key biodiversity area, but are threatened by extreme levels of deforestation and human impact. Several endemic species are restricted to a tiny and fragmented range. With this groundbreaking project, we attempt to restore critical habitat by using ecological techniques to reconvert exotic tree plantations into indigenous vegetation, which will provide badly needed new habitat for two Critically Endangered birds.

Sclater's guenon
Nigeria has lost over 90 percent of its tropical lowland forests due to human activities and more than half of the remaining forest is located around Calabar. This project highlighted the farmers’ perpectives of human wildlife conflict (HWC) around CERCOPAN, Cross River state, Nigeria, and provided the management with relevant information to develop future research and conservation priorities to facilitate coexistence between people and ...

Ganges River Dolphin
The Karnali river of Nepal hosts the upstream isolated sub- population of Ganges river dolphin. The main objectives of this project are to determine the current population status, distribution, and habitat ecology and conservation threats of dolphin. We intend to use this information to assist the government in conservation planning, strengthen the capacity of stakeholders, and to enhance the local community participation in conservation.

Puerto Rico manjack (PR), Black sage (BVI)
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew's UK Overseas Territories Programme are working together with British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rican partners to conserve the Critically Endangered plant, Cordia rupicola, a member of the Boraginaceae family.

Siamese crocodile
FFI and its partners are working to strengthen national and local capacity to manage and conserve the Siamese Crocodile and its habitat in Cambodia, by implementing the release of captive-bred stock as part of the National Siamese Crocodile Re-introduction and Reinforcement Plan; rescuing Siamese Crocodiles under immediate threat from large hydro-dams; and establishing official Siamese Crocodile sanctuaries and other community-based management ...

Javan Slow Loris
The Little Fireface Project aims on saving slow lorises from extinction. The project follows an interdisciplinary approach by combining behavior and ecology research on wild animals at our field station in West Java, forest and market surveys, education and awareness on local and international levels, capacity building and communication to authorities, conservation organizations and the local, national and international public.
