Many thanks to Jon Hall for their email contact which is [email protected] Tu is a really nice guy to ƚƌĂǀĞůǁŝƚŚ͕ŚĞ͛ƐĂŶĞdžĐĞůůĞŶƚĂůů-round wildlife guide and his connections help smooth the way in many of the national parks. Based on our target species, Tu and Jan put together the following itinerary: x Three days ʹ Huai Kha Khaeng wildlife sanctuary x Three days - Khao Yai national park x Four days ʹ Kaeng Krachan national park x One day ʹ Salt pans for Spoon-billed sandpiper x One day ʹ Ban Tha Kham bay for Irawaddy dolphin and Finless porpoise This was quite easy going, giving us a fair bit of time in each of the main centres. I think we did very well scoring 43 species with good views of most of these although we had no luck with any of the mega mammals such as Clouded leopard, Marbled cat, Golden cat or Sun bear which are all possibles and seen from time to time. A couple of weeks before our visit a group had seen a Golden cat catching a dove in front of one of the bird blinds. A Sun bear had been seen crossing the road one morning near the top of the mountain at Kaeng Krachan and a group that arrived there at the same time as us went on to see a Binturong an hour or so later.

  • The Toledo Zoo/Thinkingworks Teacher Overview for the Cat Lessons
    The Toledo Zoo/ThinkingWorks Teacher Overview for the Cat Lessons Ó2003 Teacher Overview: Cheetah, Lion, Snow Leopard and Tiger The cheetah, lion, snow leopard and tiger have traits that are unique to their particular species. Below is a list of general traits for each species that will help you and your students complete the ThinkingWorks lesson. The cheetah, lion, snow leopard and tiger belong to the class of vertebrate (e.g., animals with a backbone) animals known as Mammalia or Mammals. This group is characterized by live birth, suckling young with milk produced by the mother, a covering of hair or fur and warm-bloodedness (e.g., capable of producing their own body heat). The class Mammalia is further broken down into smaller groups known as orders and families. The cheetah, snow leopard and tiger belong to the order Carnivora, a group typified as flesh-eating, with large canine teeth. Two of the many other members of this order include dogs (e.g., wolf, African wild dog and fox) bears (e.g., polar and black bear), weasels (e.g., skunk and otter) and seals (e.g., gray and harbor seal). The cheetah, lion, snow leopard and tiger also belong to the family Felidae, a family composed of many species including the leopard, jaguar, bobcat and puma. Cheetahs are currently exhibited on the historic side of the Zoo near the Museum and on the north side of the Zoo in the Africa! exhibit. Lions are exhibited in the Africa Savanna near the exit. Snow leopards are exhibited on the historic side between the sloth bear exhibit and the exit to the African Savanna.

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.

  • The Clouded Leopard in Malaysian Borneo
    The clouded leopard in Malaysian Borneo Alan Rabinowitz, Patrick Andau and Paul P. K. Chai The clouded leopard Neofelis nebulosa has already disappeared from part of its range in southern Asia; it is classified as vulnerable by IUCN and is on Appendix I of CITES. Little is known about this secretive forest-dweller anywhere in its range, and the sparse information needs to be augmented so that effective conservation measures may be taken if necessary. In early 1986 the senior author travelled through the interior of Malaysian Borneo, staying at villages and timber camps, to assess the status of the species in the region and to find out more about its behaviour. Clouded leopard in captivity in Thailand (Alan Rabinowitz). Clouded leopard in Malaysian Borneo 107 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core. IP address: 170.106.40.40, on 29 Sep 2021 at 10:57:47, subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0030605300026648 The clouded leopard is one of the most elusive of the larger felids in Asian forests. With body characteristics that fall between those of large and small cats, it has upper canines that are relatively longer than in any other living felid (Guggisberg, 1975). These tusk-like canines have a sharp posterior edge, which caused Sterndale (1884) to compare the clouded leopard to the extinct sabre-toothed tiger. Occurring over an extensive area of southern Asia, the clouded leopard is the largest wild felid on the island of Borneo. Due to its secretive and solitary habits, however, this cat is seldom observed, and much of the knowledge con- cerning its ecology remains anecdotal.

  • PICA Project Report (Action A2.2 & 2.3)
    PICA Project Report (Action A2.2 & 2.3) Investigation of Pallas’s cat activity patterns and temporal interactions with sympatric species Authors: Katarzyna Ruta, Gustaf Samelius, David Barclay, Emma Nygren PICA - “Conservation of the Pallas’s cat through capacity building, research, and global planning” 1. Introduction: 1.1 Activity patterns of wild felids: Activity patterns form a part of species’ adaptation to their environment (Beltran & Delibes, 1994) and are therefore a fundamental aspect of animal behaviour (Nielsen, 1983; Weller & Bennett, 2001). Felids are generally considered to be crepuscular and nocturnal in their activity (Kitchener, 1991), although they are well adapted to function in a wide range of light conditions (Sunquist & Sunquist, 2002). Numerous abiotic pressures and biotic interactions are known to shape the temporal behaviour of (cat-like) carnivores (Marinho et al., 2018), including changes in temperature (Beltran & Delibes, 1994; Podolski et al., 2013), light (Huck et al., 2017; Heurich et al., 2014) and season (Podolski et al., 2013; Manfredi et al., 2011), sex and reproductive status of the animal (Kolbe & Squires, 2007; Schmidt, 1999; Schmidt et al., 2009), predation risk (Caro, 2005; Farías et al., 2012) and human disturbance (Wolf & Ale, 2009; Ale & Brown, 2009). Owing to the dietary constraints of carnivores whose preys have their own well-defined circadian rhythms (Halle, 2000; Zielinski, 2000), the availability and vulnerability of prey is, however, considered as one of the main influences on predator temporal activity (Zielinski, 1988; Lodé, 1995). According to Optimal Foraging Theory, predators are expected to synchronize their daily activity with the activity of their most profitable prey, increasing the probability of encounters while reducing energy expenditure (MacArthur & Pianka, 1966; Monterroso et al., 2013; Emmons, 1987).

  • Sabin Snow Leopard Grant Program
    Sabin Snow Leopard Grant Program The Andrew Sabin Family Foundation and Panthera have partnered to launch the new Sabin Snow Leopard Grants Program, which will provide up to $100,000 a year to support in situ conservation projects on snow leop- ards. Awards of up to $20,000 per project will be made for one year, but may be extended to subsequent years, contingent upon performance and results. ELIGIBILITY Applications may be made by individuals, or institutions. In the latter case, the project leader must be identified and make the submission. Application is open to all qualified candidates but projects led by country nationals and/or in country NGOs will be given priority. SPECIES AND LOCATION The Sabin Snow Leopard Grants Program supports applications for in situ conservation efforts on the snow leop- ard in Asia. Emphasis will be given to requests for field conservation and research activities, including: • Applying interventions that directly and immediately mitigate threats to snow leopards including activities which measurably reduce the persecution of snow leopards by pastoralists and poachers, the illegal trade in snow leopards, and so on. • Monitoring and Research. We are very interested in survey efforts in areas of the snow leopard’s range for which there is limited or poor data, including developing baseline information on snow leopard populations; identifying and delineating important connections between known snow leopard populations; and undertak- ing basic research on snow leopard ecology where gaps exist. BUDGET GUIDELINES The maximum allowable request is $20,000 per annum. Panthera will consider local salaries, per diems, and sti- pends for local field personnel only; we will not fund salaries for core administrative and management personnel.

The Indian population is listed on Appendix I of CITES and the Sri Lankan population is listed on Appendix II (4). One of the smallest cat species in the world, the rusty-spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) has been called the hummingbird of the cat family, due to its small size, agility and activeness (2). About half the size of a domestic cat (2), the rusty-spotted cat has a short, soft, fawn-grey coat with a rufous tinge, covered with lines of small rusty-brown spots that form solid stripes along the back of the head (5), flanks and back (3). The underparts are white, marked with large spots and bars (2). The face has two dark streaks on each cheek, and four dark stripes that extend from the eyes, back between the ears to the shoulders (2). Its ears are small and rounded, and the tail is faintly marked with dark rings (5). Occurring in India and Sri Lanka, most records of the rusty-spotted cat are from southern India, but there are increasing reports from central and northern India (3) (5) and more recently in southwestern Nepal (6).

Activity Flow chart 48 FOREWORD The Indian Himalaya have numerous unique ecosystems hidden within, which house rich biodiversity including a wealth of medicinal plants, globally important wildlife, besides providing ecological, aesthetic, spiritual and economic services. A significant proportion of these values is provided by high altitude areas located above the forests – the alpine meadows and the apparently bleak cold deserts beyond, an area typified by the mystical apex predator, the snow leopard, which presides over the stark landscape inhabited by its prey including a variety of wild sheep and goats.
