  • Pirogue fishing illegally in the Costa de las Focas réservé, Mauritania
    It was a lucky escape for the Mediterranean Monk seal (Monachus monachus). The pirogue was illegally fishing with purse seine nets inside the Costa de las Focas reserve, Mauritania - right beside an adult male.
  • Members of the CCCP team during a Siamese Crocodile release day
    Twenty-five years ago the Critically Endangered Siamese Crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis) was reported as virtually ‘Extinct in the Wild’.
  • Addax prints in Termit & Tin Toumma Reserve of Niger
    It may be every wildlife conservationist’s worst fear – the apparent absence of a species in its key habitat. But it is always worth double-checking to confirm if that fear was well-founded or not.
  • Consulting the community groups in Nepal.
    A key challenge in global conservation is optimising and measuring return on effort. For example, has the predator proof fence been built to standard? Generally speaking, have the funds been put to best use to help achieve meaningful impacts?
  • Critically Endangered Black and white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata)
    With the recent approval of a further 20 lemur conservation projects, IUCN’s SOS is delighted to announce the SOS Lemurs initiative which started in late 2015 has now grown to 30 projects in total. All projects are informed by the Lemur Conservation Strategy published by the IUCN Species Survival Commission Primate Specialist Group in 2014.
