ABConservation Foundation Inc.

Arctictis Binturong Conservation is the only association in the world, entirely dedicated to the study and protection of a charming little Southeast Asian mammal: the binturong. Very little known and under-studied by scientists, everything about it remains to be discovered. We work both in Europe, North America and in the field in Asia to promote, inform, raise awareness, transmit, study and protect this fascinating animal. We have two main branches. One is in France where everything debuted in 2014. The other main one is in Palawan, in the Philippines. There is also two other smaller branches in England and a really new one that is in development in the United States of America. Studying the ecology and behavior of the binturong to create an appropriate conservation program, using this new knowledge to promote its image and raise public awareness of the importance of nature: these are the main challenges that our association tries to meet every day. Right now we have two programmes in the Philippines: - the Bearcat Study Programme (BSP): The overall aim of the project is to improve knowledge of the ecology and behavior of the binturong, as well as discovering the true status of its population in Palawan. Our scientific studies combine photographic trapping and radio-tracking to obtain vital information for the creation of an appropriate conservation program. - the From Awareness to Actions for Nature Conservation (AANC): Through our actions, we aim to raise public awareness of the importance of protecting nature and the biodiversity that surrounds us, also by promoting the image of the binturong. Because raising awareness is protecting! Below, more details on the different projects: BSP: Since 2017, the goal of the "Bearcat Study Programme" is to improve knowledge of specific aspects of the ecology and natural behavior of the binturong. The final goal will be to estimate the distribution and the size of the binturong population on the island of Palawan. This knowledge is crucial for the establishment of a conservation program perfectly adaptated to the needs of the species. Because in the end how can we protect something that we don't know? As a result, the studies we have set up focus on three themes: - Studying interactions between the binturong and the forests of Palawan, - Studying eating habits and social behaviour of the binturong in Palawan, - Studying the size of the vital area of the binturong in Palawan. To succed in our research, we are curently trying to track a wild individual and put a GPS-equipped transmitter collar on it. This will enable us to collect key data on the binturong's behaviour and the use of its territory, using data from photo trapping and the radio collar. All the results of our studies are or will be the subject of scientific publications, most of which are freely accessible. Since 2023, photographic traps have been installed in a protected area in the center of the island to highlight the binturong's preferences in terms of micro-environment. The data are still being acquired. The aim is to repeat this protocol in other parts of the island. This will enable us to assess the characteristics common to the areas in which the binturong is most frequently observed. This will also help us to categorize Palawan's different habitats according to their suitability for the binturong's needs, and the characteristics identified may enable us to rehabilitate different kind of environments suitable for the binturong. Since 2024, we have also reinstalled camera traps in our first study forest, located further to the northeast of the island. The aim is to analyze the impact of typhoon Odette in 2021 on the binturong's population and thus study their resilience. AANC: Our planet is currently facing a number of threats such as the pollution (air, water, soil), the deforestation or the climate change. Because of that, we believe that we need to take initiatives. Indeed, as Robert Swan OBE said, "the greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it". Whether it's our consumption of energy or food, there are many examples to show that we can choose to act on a daily basis more respectfuly of the Nature. Because there's only one, it is important to protect our planet. This program has two main aims: - Sustainably reach out to as many people as possible, of all ages and backgrounds. Generating curiosity about the biodiversity that surrounds us also means realizing its importance. Indeed, we are dependent on Nature and its proper functioning. By becoming aware of our impact, we can all act positively to counter the threats facing our planet. - Generate concrete actions for the protection and conservation of the environment with the initiation to zero-waste, to the concept of consumption actors (choose local food and seasonal for example), planting trees of local species or a more eco-friendly consumption of water and electricity. Last year, we created an environmental education program for primary schools. Thus, since November 2024, we have been organizing weekly classes at the Irawan primary school. The programme comprises 5 themes: Environment, Contamination and waste; Environmental protection; Environmental quality; Climate and natural phenomena; Natural resources. Through this project, the objectives are to raise awareness of environmental issues, to provide an understanding of natural systems, to develop and diversify skills related to the environment (waste reduction, energy efficiency...), as well as promoting sustainable lifestyles. The aim is to extend this programme to more schools. We would also like to train teachers so that they can independently pursue environmental awareness actions. In the same spirit as the World Binturong Day, celebrated every year on the second Saturday of May, we set up, throughout this month, a series of events aimed at raising awareness among different audiences within schools, universities and local communities. On this occasion, various educational and awareness-raising activities are developed to highlight the binturong, inform about the threats facing it and, more generally, promote an awareness of environmental issues. Particular attention is paid to the concrete solutions and actions that everyone can undertake at their own level, in order to contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the environment. Outside of this month, we also organize awareness-raising activities in schools, universities, local communities and at events related to the environment. In France and in England, our educational and awareness branch is based on the same missions. In the Philippines our main idea is really to work with the local communities, the government and the general public to raise actions for the protection of the environment and biodiversity in Palawan and in the same way the preservation and the conservation of the binturong. Our team in both Filipino and French and we think it is also one of the most important part of our project. This is how we work to study, raise awareness and protect our little protege, the binturong.

Oxfam GB

Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
