|---|---|---|---|
| The Gelada Research Project aims to contribute to the improvement ofthe conservation ofwild gelada baboons |
in | ||
| Ethiopia. | |||
| In 2020, Action for the Wild donated R1,695.35to support this research | |||
| The current status ofwild gelada baboon populations isn't known; hence the conservation status ofthis species |
|||
| needs to be properly assessed. Nothing is known with respect to population structure, welfare condition and |
|||
| behaviour ofgeladas that live outside ofprotected areas and that are affected by severe human pressure. |
|||
| This project aims to: | |||
| increase understanding ofhow human presence and activities impact on ecology and behaviour of gelada |
|||
| baboons in two unprotected sites |
|||
| increase awareness ofenvironmental issues, capacity building and ownership ofthe local community |
|||
| managing the areas |
|||
| increase the scientific and technical knowledge ofthe species to be used for management purposes. |
|||
| The main research areas ofthis project will be to assess the historical background ofhow the gelada population |
has | ||
| changed over the years, to assess the home range and spatial behaviour ofthe geladas in the different areas |
and to | ||
| look at the impact ofhuman pressure on the population distribution. |
|||
| In addition, social behaviour analysis will be conducted, looking at aggression and conflict behaviour, competition |
|||
| over food, and play activities between juveniles, as these "play units" represent the social bridge connecting |
subjects | ||
| belonging to different one-male units. |

| AEECL Association Euro eenne our I'etude et la Conservation des Lemuriens |
|||
| The AEECL aims to advance the understanding and conservation ofMadagascar's lemurs through scientific |
|||
| research, captive propagation and protection oftheir natural habitat. |
|||
| In 2020, Action for the Wild donated its E1,802.45 membership fee. |
|||
| The Sahamalaza region in Madagascar has been the AEECL's focus ofscientific and conservation interest since |
|||
| 1988.The AEECL aims to protect the habitat and ecosystems within the Sahamalaza peninsula, monitor and |
|||
| increase lemur populations and be a strong conservation ambassador for the area. |
|||
| Unfortunately, the Covid-1 9 pandemic halted many ofthe 2020 plans AEECL had put in place for the year. |
|||
| The work on the Field Research Station was halted when restrictions across Madagascar were put in place and so it |
|||
| is expected that this project will be 1 - 1 '/~ years behind schedule. When work commences, AEECL will be hiring |
a | ||
| Field Station Manager to oversee activities. | |||
| In March, the AEECL distributed the subsidy funding for community teachers and the scholarship for students |
at | the | |
| high school in Maromandia in order to stabilise the education system. . |
|||
| The field team in Ankarafa continue to patrol and to monitor the forest every day. Any illegal forest activity is |
|||
| reported. | |||
| The reforestation launch for the Sofia region took place in January. The goal ofthe reforestation programme |
is to | ||
| make the Sofia region green again and to stop the bush fires. A total of11,000trees were reforested over an |
area of | ||
| 8ha. | |||
| By investing in local communities through education, resource management and communication, this helps ensure |
|||
| the communities oftoday can forge asafe haven for wildlife tomorrow |

| Fisher's Estuarine Moth Breedin Pro ramme |
|||
| The Fisher's Estuarine Moth is a rare and highly threatened species. The main stronghold for the species is |
the | ||
| Walton Backwaters area ofthe North Essex coast, where the majority ofthe population is found at Skipper's |
island. | ||
| This key site for the moth is severely threatened by flooding, as a consequence ofsea level rise and deteriorating |
|||
| sea walls. | |||
| Colchester Zoo and Action for the Wild donate technical assistance to support this programme via an off-show |
area | ||
| to promote the captive breeding ofthis species. | |||
| In Spring 2020, 8 egg batches from our 2019breeding programme were put out at the National Trust's Copt |
Hall. | ||
| These eggs are released into newly-created habitat sites around Essex to ensure the long-term survival ofthis |
|||
| species. | |||
| Throughout 2020, we placed 26 caterpillars on their feeding plant; Hog's Fennel, in our breeding enclosures |
and | ||
| had 4 moths emerge to produce 1 pairing. This pairing produced 3batches ofeggs. |
