Spatial Ecology and Abundance Estimates of the Visayan Leopard Cat Prionailurus Bengalensis Rabori (Kerr, 1792) in the Sugarcane Farms of Negros Occidental

This proposed study aims to investigate the spatial ecology of the Visayan leopard cat to elucidate how these cats ‘share’ the landscape with humans, improve on methods on studying the ecology of small felids, and will become the basis for the formulation of relevant management plans for the protection of remnant habitats for the native wildlife of Negros surviving in human‐dominated landscapes.

Project Right Whale – Evaluating the Impact of Touristic Activities on Southern Right Whales in North Patagonia, Argentina

The only location in Argentina, and one of the only places in the world, where it is legal to swim with southern right whales (SRWs) under specific restrictions, is inside the Gulf of San Matías, Province of Río Negro. Due to this legalization and the consequential important role of SRWs in the development of this coastal area, especially in the region of San Antonio, this study aims to obtain information on their behavioural reaction to these human approaches. The results of this study will be an indispensable tool for the implementation of regulations and conservation measurements towards these vulnerable animals in the region.
