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. This, plus the generous in-kind support provided by ZSL, enables us to continue giving 100% of donations to the wild tiger and Amur leopard conservation projects we support, which in 2018 amounted to a fantastic £261,885. 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.
