Reducing ship speed ("blue speed") is a concrete, feasible and easy-to-implement measure that the shipping industry can take to reduce three major environmental pressures: underwater noise, ship collisions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Limiting the speed of commercial vessels to 75% of their…

The world population of the Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus barbatus) is estimated at 2,000-10,000 individuals, 65% of which are adults. Only in the Western Palearctic region has its population been more comprehensively assessed (591-774 breeding pairs). Despite a relatively positive trend in…

Large pelagics and other marine megafauna play a crucial role in the balance of marine ecosystems. The entire food web of the pelagic environment depends on the ecological services provided by these iconic species. They influence the balance of the food web and the overall structure and functioning…

Comprehensive knowledge of the habitat and behavior of a small-scale threatened species helps establish conservation measures throughout its range. Sirenians: dugongs (Dugong dugon) and manatees (Trichechus manatus) are the only species of herbivorous marine mammals. Classified as vulnerable on the…

The East Atlantic Flyway comprises a network of sites from the Arctic to southern Africa where migratory birds find refuge; the coastal wetlands of West Africa are critical in this regard. Millions of birds depend on these areas as vital stopover or breeding sites, while the surrounding communities…

The Solomon Islands are made up of 900 small islands spread over a large geographical area and their fisheries produce close to 5% of the world’s tuna supply. The industry generates essential income thanks to the rights of access paid by foreign fishing vessels, supports a national tuna fleet and…

The ACCOBAMS Survey Initiative (ASI) is a pilot initiative aimed at establishing an integrated and coordinated monitoring system of cetacean populations, at the macroregional level of the Mediterranean/Black Sea, in coordination with the countries bordering the two seas and with their…

The Project aims to enhance an already ongoing nationwide coastal network called "Mediterranean Seal Information & Rescue Network" AFBIKA, and to have timely and key seal sighting and illegal cave penetration data. The program unites different stakeholders for the conservation of the species.…

In order to improve the tranquillity of two Egyptian vultures installed in 2019 in the cliffs of the Petit Luberon state forest, a section of the climbing routes closest to the nesting area was de-equipped in 2020. However, in the neighbouring cliffs, other climbing routes have been equipped…

The project will take place in NMPANS and the neighboring areas of Skopelos, Skiathos, S.E Pelion and N. Evia, and Lichadonisisa islets; these areas host important Mediterranean monk seal populations (see project's map). The project will include: A public awareness campaign highlighting the…

The main objective of the Monk Seal Conservation Program developed at Cabo Blanco peninsula is to improve the conservation status of this endangered species in the region and globally.

The aim is to improve coexistence at the level of the Alpine wolf population by implementing coordinated actions throughout the Alpine ecosystem, where the wolf has been present for 20 years (Western Alps) and where the recolonisation process has just started (Central Eastern Alps) on the basis of…

In 1950, more than 200 wild tigers lived in Northeast China, by 2012 they were only 20. The tiger population was decimated by habitat loss and degradation, poaching, and prey depletion driven by long-term and large-scale logging. Due to concerted efforts from the Government of China and partners…

Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse and economically valuable ecosystems on the planet, yet the world has lost half of its coral reefs in the past 30 years. Coral reefs are known to need stable conditions for them to survive. In the Barú Peninsula, this marine ecosystem has…

In response to the continuing shark crisis, WWF will expand its successful regional shark fin programme to two new priority markets: mainland China and Thailand, and utilise the findings of a cutting-edge study to create behavioural change amongst shark fin consumers in Asia. This study, led by…

Under direction from the Minister for Environment and Water, International Koala Centre of Excellence (IKCE) will manage and develop the so-called Captive Managed Disease Free (CMDF). A collaboration with Cleland Wildlife Park (CPW) and Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary (HBWS) will also seek to…
