We would like to share information from conservation projects as widely as possible. This part of our website will be updated regularly with other projects.
Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program (TKCP)
The Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program (TKCP) is headquartered at Woodland Park in Seattle, USA, and delivered by TKCP’s partner in Papua New Guinea – TKCP-PNG. the locally-registered non-government organisation. The holistic program encompasses a broad range of habitats from marine and coastal ecosystems to montane rainforests and alpine grasslands; as well as settlements and agricultural areas belonging to more than 50 villages within the Yopno, Uruwa and Som (YUS) watersheds on the Huon Peninsula. In 2009, the PNG Government formally gazetted the 75,700ha Conservation Area, the first of its kind in PNG and part of the 162,000 ha YUS landscape. The area is home to hundreds of species, among them the Endangered Matschie’s Tree-kangaroo.
A core component of the Livelihoods Program is YUS Conservation Coffee. This is Zoos Victoria’s main focus in the partnership with the TKCP, as it delivers measurable benefits to both wildlife and people. The coffee is sold at Zoos Victoria, forming part of the Coffee for Wildlife community conservation campaign.
Proyecto Mono Araña
The objectives of this association are to conduct scientific research allowing to know various aspects of the ecology of the species Variegated Spider Monkey (Ateles hybridus), threats, state of the habitat, effects of fragmentation on the population, which allow to implement conservation actions.
But also to train or integrate young researchers and young people from the local community on issues of ecology, environmental education and conservation. To implement actions to conserve populations and their habitat in the Caparo forest reserve, in Colombia.
To set up an environmental education program to sensitize the local community to the importance of preserving this species and its habitat in the Caparo forest reserve.
Congo Biotropical Institute (CBI)
Congo Biotropical Institute (CBI) is a wildlife conservation organization based in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Our goal is to developing a program to conciliate human needs with nature conserva0on. In our view, this is the only way to conserve biodiversity sustainably and have a real impact on global warming.
Our action is to raise awareness in local communities, promote and achieve communitybased management of forest ecosystems, and support the legalizing process of indigenous lands with the government to recognize them officially. All this support will enable us to provide a permanent habitat for wildlife in these forest lands.
We also reconcile traditional knowledge with conservation science to explore all possible approaches that play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and maximizing conservation efforts.
Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF)
CCF’s vision is to see a world in which cheetahs live and flourish in coexistence with people within a sustainable system that is protective of the environment, socially responsible and economically viable.
CCF has two Centres, located in Namibia and Somaliland.
Somaliland
CCF’s Cheetah Rescue and Conservation Centre (CRCC) serves as a rehabilitation centre and sanctuary for long term care of cheetahs confiscated from the illegal pet trade by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC). Completed in 2023, the CRCC is the hub of activity for CCF’s research and education driven conservation plan for the region.
Founded in 1990, CCF’s International Research and Education Centre in Namibia is internationally recognized for its excellence in the conservation of cheetahs and their ecosystems. From these headquarters, CCF works with all stakeholders across the species’ range to develop best practices in research, education and land use to benefit all species, including people.”
