Our recent commitments 7 vi. Our Partners 14 vii. Contacts 17 viii. Credits 18 September 2012 2 A Word from the Founder FONDATION SEGRÉ SEPTEMBER 2012 hat a difference nine months make... I am delighted that in the first three quarters of 2012, commitments have increased by 80%. The explanation is that new projects have been approved Wwith new partners. The scope of our activities has also increased significantly with our commitment to a vast programme against poaching and illegal wildlife trade. When the Foundation was established in 1996, it was given given a very broad scope: to promote humanitarian, scientific, educational, artistic and environmental projects. For the first years of the Foundation, we committed resources in each of these vast fields. This experience was essential for understanding where the Foundation could make a difference. In these fifteen years, protection of nature and its biodiversity as well as education emerged clearly as the predominant interests. Just to explain how it all began, I was born in Rome in 1932: after graduating in law at the University of Rome, I received a PhD in Economics from Yale University in 1958. I joined the Commission of the European Communities in 1959, where I was Director of Research, with a particular interest in capital markets. In 1967 I became a partner of the Investment Bank Lazard Frères & Cie in Paris.

  • On the Incubation Biology of the Spur-Winged Plover Hoplopterus Spjnosus (Aves: Charadriidae) in Israel
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, Vol. 34, 1986/87, pp. 155-157 ON THE INCUBATION BIOLOGY OF THE SPUR-WINGED PLOVER HOPLOPTERUS SPJNOSUS (AVES: CHARADRIIDAE) IN ISRAEL HANA CZACKES-RADO AND YORAM YOM-Tov Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University, 69978 Tel Aviv, Israel Little has been published on the incubation biology of the spur-winged plover and much of what does exist is quoted as a personal communication from S. Su-Aretz (Cramp & Simmons, 1983). The observations which we report here will partially fill the gap. Our observations were carried out in the Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan Safari Park near Tel Aviv. The area is almost flat, has several small open groves, open grass and a large pond. About 20 pairs and 40 flock birds of wild spur-winged plovers live in the park, mainly near the pond, but also in the groves. Observations were made during the springs of 1982 and 1983. Numerical values are given as mean±standard deviation. Biology. The birds live in pairs throughout the year. Copulations were observed in the third week of March and continued even after hatching of the chicks. Nests were built chiefly near the pond. Both members of the pair participated in nest building by leaning on the breast and scratching the ground with their legs, pushing the soil in all directions and later pressing their breasts to the ground while making side movements until a 7-10 em diameter, 0.5-3 em deep depression was formed. The birds lined it with small pieces of grass. Many nests were made near resting sites of large animals: 1.5 m from a preferred basking spot of a crocodile, Crocodylus niloticus; near the lions, Panthera leo; and in the enclosures of spotted deer, Rusa axis and Indian elephants, Elephas maximus.
