Hosted by ZSL at its headquarters in Regent’s Park, London, the running costs including the salaries for the three part -time employees, are covered by an annual grant provided by DWF, continuing the support first allocated to 21st Century Tiger in 2006.

Mission Statement Our mission is to save wild tigers and Amur leopards for future generations by funding carefully chosen conservation projects. We work with good zoos, individuals and companies to raise significant funds for our work and pride ourselves in providing a transparent and fair way to conserve wild cats in their natural habitat. We do this by: Raising funds that significantly contribute to the conservation of tigers and Amur leopards in the wild Selecting appropriate projects based on strict criteria agreed by the partners Raising the profile of tigers and Amur leopards and promoting public awareness of their conservation through effective communication Defining Features The conservation projects we support are carefully chosen and subjected to peer review to ensure best practice and good conservation value.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Pudu (Pudu puda), occurring in the southern cone of Latin America, has been classified as vulnerable by the IUCN, yet little is known about this animal in the wild, with most knowledge on the breeding behavior coming from captive animals. For this second smallest deer in the world, delayed implantation has been suggested to explain the two peaks in the annual cycle of male sexual hormones based upon the accepted tenet that the breeding period occurs only once a year between March and June. However, in this study, birth dates from fawns born at the Los Canelos semi-captive breeding center in Chile and male courting behavior revealed possibility of two rutting periods: autumn and spring. To our knowledge, this is the first time that late fall/early winter births (May through early June) have been recorded for the southern pudu; two of these four births were conceived by females in the wild.

    1. Introducción El Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Barcelona presenta Micos. Una historia de primates, la exposición temporal más completa que se ha hecho nunca sobre nuestros parientes más cercanos producida por los Museos Nacionales de Escocia y que itinera en asociación con Nomad Exhibitions. Se trata de una muestra inmersiva, interactiva y multisensorial, dirigida a todos los públicos que presenta 60 especímenes de monos que se han naturalizado a propósito para la exposición y que se pueden ver en posturas dinámicas que recrean su comportamiento en estado salvaje. En una ambientación selvática y con sonido envolvente, Micos. Una historia de primates brinda una oportunidad única de conocer muy de cerca la diversidad de los primates, desde el pequeño lémur ratón hasta los grandes gorilas. A través de especímenes, proyecciones y juegos podremos saber cómo se han adaptado en los diferentes hábitats, explorar las semejanzas entre humanos y primates y descubrir cómo se comunican, cómo se mueven, cómo se relacionan y cómo sobreviven en un entorno de cambio constante. La parte final de la exposición examina el futuro incierto de estas especies, casi la mitad de las cuales está en peligro de extinción debido, principalmente, a la destrucción de su hábitat, además de la caza y el comercio ilegal. Cada año se matan miles y miles de primates para obtener su carne, piel y hueso, o se capturan como mascotas o para explotarlos como atracción turística. El Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Barcelona ha complementado la exposición con información sobre las organizaciones locales que realizan una importante labor de rehabilitación y recuperación de primates, así como sobre aquellos pequeños gestos que todo el mundo puede hacer para la preservación de estos fantásticos animales.
