The Wollemi Pine is one of the world's oldest and rarest tree species belonging to a 200 million year old plant family. It was known from fossil records and was presumed extinct until it was discovered in 1994 in the Wollemi National Park just outside Australia's largest city, Sydney. The mission of Wollemi Pine International is to conserve the Wollemi Pine for future generations and to raise awareness of conservation internationally. Through public participation, we will repopulate the Wollemi Pine and return royalties to fund conservation of the Pines in the wild and other threatened and endangered species. ...

The Action Campaign for Endangered Species (AGA) is a worldwide NGO whose aim is to protect endangered wild animal species and their habitats from destruction. AGA grew from the “Save the Turtles Initiative”, launched in Germany in 1981, and was founded as an association in 1986. Since then, AGA has successfully initiated a broad palette of international activities. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
Der Feldhamster wird auf der Roten Liste der gefährdeten Tiere der Bundesrepublik Deutschland als "stark gefährdet" eingestuft. Nach der Bundesartenschutzverordnung § 13 gehört er zu den besonders geschützten Tierarten und ist durch die europäische Flora-Fauna-Habitat-Richtlinie Anhang IV geschützt. Die fortschreitende Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft macht diesen Schutz weitgehend unwirksam, da der Lebensraum Ackerland keiner Nutzungseinschränkung unterliegt. Um den Feldhamster vor dem völligen Verschwinden zu bewahren, werden zur Zeit in mehreren Bundesländern und in einzelnen europäischen Staaten Schutzprogramme entwickelt beziehungsweise erprobt. Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Feldhamsterschutz (Agfha) führt in Hessen Schutzprojekte durch. Das Ziel des Projektes ist es, die aktuelle Verbreitung und Bestandsdichte des Feldhamsters festzustellen und dies in einem Gebiet, dass wie kaum ein anderes in Deutschland von einem enormen Flächenverbrauch, vor allem im Bereich der landwirtschaftlichen Flächen, betroffen ist. Die Maßnahmen zur Stabilisierung der Feldhamsterbestände dienen auch einer Reihe anderer an die Feldlandschaft angepasster Tierarten, wie dem Feldhasen, der Schafsstelze, der Feldlerche und dem Rebhuhn. Diese Arten können und sollten als "Leitarten" für eine an die Ökologie angepasste Landwirtschaft dienen. ... [Information des Anbieters]
Sponsored by WDCS, this site is dedicated to the conservation of the critical habitats of whales, dolphins and porpoises in national waters and on the high seas of the world ocean. You will find explanations of key marine protected area (MPA) terms such as critical habitat and ecosystem-based management; excerpts from Erich Hoyt’s book Marine Protected Areas for Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises; an interactive directory and poster-map of the more than 500 MPAs and sanctuaries for cetaceans, both proposed and existing; news about MPAs and interviews with cetacean experts, and a detailed resource section with links and downloads. ...

Since 1984, the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe has been dedicated to the conservation of gorillas, especially the mountain gorillas, and their habitats. The Board consists of three honorary members who contribute their skills and experience in different disciplines. As project planning has to incorporate not only biological but also economic, social and political aspects, this multidisciplinary approach is very important. We focus our work on the eastern gorillas by supporting projects contributing to the conservation of these animals. Occasionally, we also support projects for the conservation of certain populations of western gorillas that are particularly at risk. In addition, we support research activities of (predominantly local) scientists. With competent members the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe also takes part in population censuses and ecological studies. Finally, we provide necessary equipment to support the important work of the rangers. ... [Information of the supplier]
Animal Info provides information on endangered mammals. If you are looking for a specific species, use the Individual Species Index, which includes common and scientific names. Use the Species Group Index to browse through a list of the common names of each species grouped by category (e.g. "Cats"). You can also Search the site below. Once at an individual species' page, a summary about the animal's biology and history can be obtained from the Profile section near the top of the page, giving details on status and trends (such as distribution and IUCN category), and relevant biological and ecological data with references. ...

The EDGE of Existence programme is the only global conservation initiative to focus specifically on threatened species that represent a significant amount of unique evolutionary history. Using a scientific framework to identify the world’s most Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) species, the EDGE of Existence programme highlights and protects some of the weirdest and most wonderful species on the planet. EDGE species have few close relatives on the tree of life and are often extremely unusual in the way they look, live and behave, as well as in their genetic make-up. They represent a unique and irreplaceable part of the world’s natural heritage, yet an alarming proportion are currently sliding silently towards extinction unnoticed. The aim of the EDGE programme is to put these species on the map and catalyse conservation action to secure their future. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
