|---|---|---|---|
|The Gelada Research Project aims to contribute<br>to the improvement<br>ofthe conservation<br>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<br>isn't known; hence the conservation<br>status ofthis species||||
|needs to be properly assessed.<br>Nothing<br>is known<br>with respect to population<br>structure,<br>welfare condition<br>and||||
|behaviour<br>ofgeladas that live outside ofprotected areas and that are affected by severe human<br>pressure.||||
|This project aims to:||||
|increase understanding<br>ofhow human<br>presence and activities impact on ecology and behaviour<br>of gelada||||
|baboons<br>in two unprotected<br>sites||||
|increase awareness<br>ofenvironmental<br>issues, capacity building<br>and ownership<br>ofthe local community||||
|managing<br>the areas||||
|increase the scientific and technical<br>knowledge<br>ofthe species to be used for management<br>purposes.||||
|The main research areas ofthis project will be to assess the historical<br>background<br>ofhow the gelada population|||has|
|changed<br>over the years, to assess the home range and spatial behaviour<br>ofthe geladas<br>in the different areas||and to||
|look at the impact ofhuman<br>pressure<br>on the population<br>distribution.||||
|In addition, social behaviour<br>analysis<br>will be conducted,<br>looking at aggression<br>and conflict behaviour,<br>competition||||
|over food, and play activities between juveniles, as these "play units" represent<br>the social bridge connecting|subjects|||
|belonging<br>to different one-male<br>units.||||
|AEECL Association<br>Euro eenne<br>our I'etude et la Conservation<br>des Lemuriens||||
|The AEECL aims to advance the understanding<br>and conservation<br>ofMadagascar's<br>lemurs through<br>scientific||||
|research, captive propagation<br>and protection<br>oftheir natural<br>habitat.||||
|In 2020, Action for the Wild donated<br>its E1,802.45 membership<br>fee.||||
|The Sahamalaza<br>region<br>in Madagascar<br>has been the AEECL's focus ofscientific and conservation<br>interest since||||
|1988.The AEECL aims to protect the habitat and ecosystems<br>within the Sahamalaza<br>peninsula,<br>monitor and||||
|increase lemur populations<br>and be a strong conservation<br>ambassador<br>for the area.||||
|Unfortunately,<br>the Covid-1 9 pandemic<br>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<br>were put in place and so it||||
|is expected that this project will be 1 - 1 '/~ years behind schedule.<br>When work commences,<br>AEECL will be hiring|||a|
|Field Station Manager to oversee activities.||||
|In March, the AEECL distributed<br>the subsidy funding<br>for community<br>teachers and the scholarship<br>for students||at|the|
|high school in Maromandia<br>in order to stabilise the education<br>system. .||||
|The field team<br>in Ankarafa<br>continue to patrol and to monitor the forest every day. Any illegal forest activity is||||
|reported.||||
|The reforestation<br>launch for the Sofia region took place in January. The goal ofthe reforestation<br>programme|is to|||
|make the Sofia region green again and to stop the bush fires. A total of11,000trees were reforested<br>over an|area of|||
|8ha.||||
|By investing<br>in local communities<br>through<br>education,<br>resource management<br>and communication,<br>this helps ensure||||
|the communities<br>oftoday can forge asafe haven for wildlife tomorrow||||
|Fisher's Estuarine<br>Moth Breedin<br>Pro ramme||||
|The Fisher's Estuarine<br>Moth is a rare and highly threatened<br>species. The main stronghold<br>for the species is|the|||
|Walton Backwaters area ofthe North Essex coast, where the majority ofthe population<br>is found at Skipper's|island.|||
|This key site for the moth is severely threatened<br>by flooding, as a consequence<br>ofsea level rise and deteriorating||||
|sea walls.||||
|Colchester Zoo and Action for the Wild donate technical assistance to support this programme<br>via an off-show||area||
|to promote the captive breeding ofthis species.||||
|In Spring 2020, 8 egg batches from our 2019breeding<br>programme<br>were put out at the National<br>Trust's Copt|Hall.|||
|These eggs are released<br>into newly-created<br>habitat sites around Essex to ensure the long-term<br>survival<br>ofthis||||
|species.||||
|Throughout<br>2020, we placed 26 caterpillars<br>on their feeding<br>plant; Hog's Fennel,<br>in our breeding<br>enclosures|and|||
|had 4 moths emerge to produce<br>1 pairing. This pairing produced 3batches ofeggs.||||
