Very little research has been done on binturongs. We lack knowledge about their distribution, status of populations, genetics, and behaviour in their natural environment. Palawan is a very interesting place to study binturongs, first of all because it is the only island in Philippines were they occur and secondly because it is a subspecies very different from other populations. The association developed a research project aims to increase the knowledge on Palawan binturongs through field surveys and ecological studies in South Asia, using camera traps and radio- tracking.

Nature Conservation 43: 25–39. https://doi.org/10.3897/ natureconservation.43.59399 Abstract Indonesia is home to the Javan Leopard (Panthera pardus melas) and the Sunda Clouded Leopard (Neofelis diardi), both of which are threatened by habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict issues and the illegal wildlife trade. Leopards and clouded leopards are threatened by the illegal wildlife trade across their range, how- ever, very little is known of the illegal trade in these two species in Indonesia, or of the efforts made to tackle this crime. Both the Javan Leopard and Sunda Clouded Leopard are protected species in Indonesia and both species are listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), meaning commercial international trade is generally prohibited. To better understand the trade, and efforts to end this trade, we collected records of seizures and prosecutions relating to Javan Leopards and Sunda Clouded Leopards in Indonesia for the period 2011–2019.

  • Binturong (Arctictis Binturong) Animal Welfare Animal Welfare Refers to an Animal’S State Or Feelings
    Care For Us Binturong (Arctictis binturong) Animal Welfare Animal welfare refers to an animal’s state or feelings. An animal’s welfare state can be positive, neutral or negative. An animal’s welfare has the potential to differ on a daily basis. When an animal’s needs - nutritional, behavioural, health and environmental - are met, they will have positive welfare. A good life in captivity might be one where animals can consistently experience good welfare - throughout their entire life. Understanding that animals have both sentient and cognitive abilities as well as pain perception, reinforces the need to provide appropriate husbandry for all captive animals, to ensure positive welfare. In captivity, the welfare of an animal is dependent on the environment provided for them and the daily care and veterinary treatment they receive. It is therefore very important we understand their behavioural and physiological needs, so we can meet those needs in captivity. The binturong, also known as the bearcat, belongs to the Viverridae family, an ancient group of small to medium-sized mammals found only in the Old World. They live in the dense tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. Binturong smell like buttered popcorn due to their scent glands, which are situated just under the tail. The binturong has been assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, because of a declining population trend that is estimated at more than 30 per cent over the last three decades. The main threats to binturongs are habitat destruction, hunting, and the illegal wildlife trade. Binturongs Like Food Binturongs are in the order Carnivora, but they actually eat a lot of fruit.

  • Sun Bear (Finally!) Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand: 12‐14 January, 2018
    Sun bear (finally!) Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand: 12‐14 January, 2018 Although I live in Laos, the defaunation of its forests means I frequently cross the border into neighboring Thailand for a quick wildlife fix. Over the last ten years, I must have visited Thai parks on over 30 occasions split between Khao Yai, Phu Khiao and Kaeng Krachan in my quest to see Sun and Asiatic black bear and other Southeast Asian species. In January, I was transiting through Bangkok when I received a tip-off from a wildlife guide that a Sun bear had been frequenting the lower campground in Kaeng Krachan National Park. I decided to delay my flight back to Laos and give it a go. Kaeng Krachan is Thailand’s largest national park at nearly 3,000 km2. Most importantly its part of a complex of connected parks on the border with Myanmar which creates a contiguous forest area of 175,000 km2 where elephants and tigers still roam. This colossal area of tropical and sub-tropical forest is key to the persistence of the large mammal fauna coupled with the Thai government’s impressive track record of protecting National Parks and also providing facilities for visitors. On the first night in the park the bear stayed away but Golden jackal and Malayan porcupine were frequent visitors to the lower campground at Baan Krang. At 5.30 am the next day we were the first car up the steep mountain track to the upper campground. This requires a 4x4 vehicle and takes about an hour.

  • Djurrättsalliansen Har Inte Kunnat Granska Ölands Djurpark
    2020-04-23 09:12 CEST Djurrättsalliansen har inte kunnat granska Ölands djurpark Tidigare i veckan presenterade organisationen Djurrättsalliansen en granskning av tio av landets större djurpark som visar att 2 565 djur dött på de granskade djurparkerna under 2017-2019. Tanken var även att Ölands djurpark skulle ingå i granskningen, men då de inte har uppgett hur många djur som dött eller avlivats i de listor som årligen skickas in till länsstyrelsen har Djurrättsalliansen inte kunnat granska detta. Djurrättsalliansen har flera gånger tagit kontakt med Ölands djurpark och försökt få del av den informationen, utan att få svar. Ölands djurpark har tidigare fått kritik för stora brister i djurhållningen efter en granskning gjord av P4 Kalmar och Smålandsnytt år 2012. Då avlivades friska utrotningshotade tigrar. Många av de andra djuren hade för trånga utrymmen och fick inte tillräckligt med mat. Dessutom ska djuren ha avlivats på ett felaktigt sätt, ibland med en klubba eller kniv för att på så sätt spara in på veterinärkostnaderna. – Vi tycker det är anmärkningsvärt att Ölands djurpark inte redovisar hur många djur som dött på djurparken under de senaste åren, speciellt med tanke på deras förflutna. Vi frågar oss varför det inte finns någon transparens kring hur många djur som dödas så allmänheten kan göra medvetna val, säger Daniel Rolke, ordförande för Djurrättsalliansen. På andra djurparker som granskats så har det bekräftats att utrotningshotade djurarter eller friska djur som till exempel addaxantilopen, kattugglor, lejon, lokatter, vargar, björnar, järvar, rävar, gulbröstad kapuchin och makaker avlivats på de olika djurparkerna. En del av dem är så kallade överskottsdjur som det inte längre finns utrymme för.
