The Awards are the result of a competitive process and are presented by our patron, HRH The Princess Royal, at an annual ceremony in London. Each year WFN also gives a previous winner the prestigious Whitley Gold Award, a funding and profile prize worth up to £50,000, in recognition of their outstanding contribution to conservation. Eight Whitley Awards were given in 2015 with thanks to our donors: Dino Martins *Whitley Gold Award* Winner of the Whitley Gold Award donated by the Friends and Scottish Friends of the Whitley Fund for Nature Arnaud Desbiez Winner of the Whitley Award donated by Garden House School Parents’ Association Rosamira Guillen Winner of the Whitley Award donated by Sarah Chenevix-Trench Panut Hadisiswoyo Winner of the Whitley Award for Conservation in Ape Habitats donated by the Arcus Foundation Jayson Ibañez Winner of the Whitley Award donated by The Shears Foundation in memory of Trevor Shears Inaoyom Imong Winner of the Whitley Award donated by the Garfield Weston Foundation Ananda Kumar Winner of the Whitley Award donated by WWF-UK Pramod Patil Winner of the Whitley Award donated by The William Brake Charitable Trust in memory of William Brake 3 2015 Whitley Award Winners Left to right: Jayson Ibañez (Phillippines), Ananda Kumar (India), Pramod Patil (India), Panut Hadisiswoyo (Indonesia), Arnaud Desbiez (Brazil), Rosamira Guillen (Colombia), Inaoyom Imong (Nigeria), Dino Martins (Kenya). Location Map of 2015 Winner Projects 4 PR: Boosting Winners’ Profiles As well as providing winners with significant financial support, WFN works to accelerate the career paths of Whitley Award recipients by helping them to raise their profile, expand their network and inspire others. Through Boffin Media, we provide winners with professional training for radio, TV and print interviews; whilst also offering speech training with speech coach Caroline Black. This ensures winners can communicate the impact of their work and raise awareness of conservation issues at the local and national level. We also work with a specialist environmental PR agency, Firebird, to secure media coverage for winners both in the UK and in their home countries. Recognised internationally as a highly prestigious prize, receiving the Whitley Award gives winners a platform from which to highlight their work. Winners frequently tell us that the achievement of, and associated media coverage from winning the Award has given them increased access to and more authority with decision-makers, and has led to new funding opportunites. This dossier showcases the PR success of the 2015 Whitley Award winners, Partnership Funding winners and previous winners who have received coverage this year, which has reached audiences numbering several million people. 2015 Whitley Award winners receiving professional media training from Boffin Media trainers; sponsored by HSBC 5 2015 PR Impact PR Coverage Summary*: • 205 items in total • 171 articles online (excluding social media interactions, e.g. comments, likes, retweets) • 14 broadcast features, including TV and radio interviews • 6 items in magazines • 14 items in international newspapers *These figures are based on UK and international coverage tracked by WFN and Firebird PR; without a formal media monitoring service in place they represent a conservative estimate.

Though we minded at the time, I agree, and never more so than now. On his LBC radio show, presenter James O’Brien puffed and asked: ‘Why do we care more about the death of a lion than the death of a migrant in the Chunnel,’ as if our priorities were awry for minding so passionately about the killing by crossbow of a much loved lion, and not caring about the dying of a nameless, faceless Sudanese. 10 One miserable American gun-toting speck of a rampant, predatory and destructive species paid £35,000 to take out a superb, rare and valuable male of an endangered one. But I’m not sure that this is some moral confusion, emanating from British people’s famed preference for four-legged creatures great and small over their fellow man. The world recoiled from the actions of the trophy-hunter, Walter Palmer, a dentist from Minnesota. There is global outrage over sickening images of a noble beast, slain for the gratification of a member of Safari Club International. I grieve for Cecil as I used to sob over the last days of Aslan in the Narnia books – or still feel a bit thoughtful on Good Friday in church. I find an almost Christian symbolism in the untimely death of the lion. But I also think there’s one unacknowledged reason it makes us all quite so pierced with sadness: collective guilt. We as a race must be held responsible for the fact that the human population is soaring – to a projected 9.7 billion in 2050 – while the population of wildlife species has crashed by 52 per cent since 1970 (around the time my father – the author of seven books about population

    Fam: Bacillidae, Suborden: Areolatae, Orden: Phasmida

    Fásmidos espinosos. La Familia Heteropterygidae ( orden: Phasmatodea, suborden: Areolatae, Zompro 2005) Por Sergi Romeu 1- Introducción: En esta familia Heteropterygidae encontramos los insectos más peculiares que podemos imaginarnos, llenos de espinas por todo el cuerpo y con un camuflaje de formas y colores típico del hábitat de sotobosque de las selvas húmedas. Hojas secas, líquenes, musgos, cortezas, pequeñas ramas, brotes, astillas...toman vida al intentar leerlos en este artículo. Principalmente estamos hablando de especies de distribución Asiática presentes en Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo y muchas otras islas de Indonesia. 2- Clasificación: Durante los últimos años, varios autores han estudiado la sistemática del orden phasmatodea. Principalmente se trata de revisiones teóricas, basadas en descripciones de los ejemplares tipo depositados en los museos de todo el mundo. Paul Brock trata el grupo que nos interesa dentro la familia Bacillidae, como una sub-familia llamada Heteropteryginae, dividiéndola a su vez en cuatro tribus: Datamini, Anisacanthini, Obrimini y Heteropterygini. La mayoría de especies de esta familia Bacillidae no tienen alas, exceptuando algunas especies con rudimentos alares o alas reducidas dentro de nuestra sub-familia Heteropteryginae. Desde la familia Bacillidae, la clave taxonómica para llegar a la sub-familia Heteropteryginae es según P. Brock (1999): - 1) Antena mas larga que el fémur delantero. Alados o sin alas, pero nunca presentes en África y Europa........................................................................................................................................................2

    Fásmidos espinosos. Parte II: La Familia Heteropterygidae ( orden: Phasmatodea, suborden: Areolatae, Zompro 2005) Por Sergi Romeu Sungaya inexpectata, Zompro 1996 Clasificación: según Zompro (2005): Order: Phasmatodea. Suborder: Areolatae. Superfamilia: Bacilloidea. Familia: Heteropterygidae. Subfamilia: Obriminae Esta especie es bastante reciente y hasta la fecha sólo se conocen hembras. De tamaño mediano, aspecto poco espinoso pero robusto y de colores oscuros miméticos con troncos y raíces. Descripción de la hembra: Longitud: 80 mm. Cabeza: curiosa protuberancia en su parte posterior coronada con pequeñas espinas. Largas antenas que superan la longitud de las patas delanteras. Ojos de color claro. Tórax: pro-tórax corto, de forma cuadrada. Sin espinas. Meso-tórax alargado sin espinas, con forma triangular. Meta-tórax ancho, con cuatro bultos dispuestos dos a dos paralelos dispuestos en el dorso. Una franja ancha de color más claro atraviesa todo el cuerpo longitudinalmente. Sin alas ni rudimentos alares. Abdomen: sin espinas, acabado en ovo-positor. Patas: extremadamente delgadas, sin espinas. Distribución: Filipinas. Cría en cautividad: Altura mínima del terrario 40 cm. Esta especie se reproduce por partenogénesis desconociéndose la presencia de machos. Se alimenta de zarza. Como los otros miembros de la familia, prefiere el lugar más húmedo del terrario. Entierra los huevos, por lo que pondremos un recipiente de tierra o turba de unos 5 cm. de espesor en el interior del terrario . Los huevos son muy curiosos, como si fueran pequeñas vasijas. La tapa o opérculo por donde eclosiona la ninfa neonata es plana. Su desarrollo es más rápido que los anteriores, cerrando el ciclo en un año. No tiene ningún mecanismo de defensa aparente.
