You can see that it is a very detailed document, far more comprehensive than any report that has been ever published by Ostrava Zoo. But we have really a lot to say, as 2008 is sure to be recorded as one of the best and most successful years in the history of the zoo. This report provides not only an overview of the animal collection, but also a number of updates and information on breeding and husbandry as well as participation of the zoo in conservation breeding programmes of threatened animal species; furthermore, it includes a detailed analysis of design and development activities, conservation education, promotion and publicity, scientific research, botanical work, and much more. Ostrava Zoo is the only zoological park around the Moravian-Silesian Region (MSR). At the same time, it is the most attended cultural institution and tourist destination within the territory, progressively becoming one of the top attractive and most-visited places around the country. Owing to the financial support of the founder, the Statutory City of Ostrava, two capital projects that had been under development a long time could be launched in 2008. Following the modern elephant house opened in late 2004, these are the most comprehensive investments throughout the long existence of the zoo. Titled Technical Background for the Dendrology Department, the first of the projects presents another milestone along the way to the goal we had staked – creating a combined zoological and botanical park by linking the animal exhibits and the botanical part,

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.

  • Borneo, Malaysia) 2019 October 7Th-31St Lennart Verheuvel
    Tripreport Sabah (Borneo, Malaysia) 2019 October 7th-31st Lennart Verheuvel www.shutterednature.com Sabah October 7th till October 31st. This was the second part of the trip I had planned to do after my studies were finished. Initially the plan was to go to Borneo for three months, I actually have asked for advice on the forum of Mammalwatching.com for that. Later I decided to change my mind and go for South-America, even later I decided to go for a combo: first three months South-America and then three weeks in Borneo. The road to Borneo was a long and bumpy one and I also ran into some difficulties during the trip, but in the end it was all worth it. The funny thing was that literally a week before my plane left, I still wasn’t sure if I could go, so looking back I’m really glad it all worked out. I travelled by myself but I did the first thirteen days of the trip together with Duncan McNiven and Debbie Pain from England and later we did our first five nights in Deramakot with Stuart Chapman and Nick Cox. It was nice searching for mammals (and birds) with these guys and it was really cool that the four of use managed to see Clouded Leopard together on one of the last nights of Stuart and Nick. I did fly on Tawau, which is not the nearest airport if you want to go to Danum but that was because I was first supposed to go with someone else, who backed out last minute and it was too expensive to change the destination.
