Current Projects

  • Woolly Monkeys and their Forest Habitat - South America

    This is a community-based research project in the Colombian Amazon which currently co-manages the natural resources of the area with the indigenous communities of the region. This project is collecting biological and socio-economic information to examine how hunting is affecting the monkey population and determine its implications for local people and large mammal conservation.
  • Blue Whale Conservation - Chile

    This project is based in Chile in the Chiloé-Corcovado region. Until recently, this was a pristine marine wilderness. About five years ago, it was realised that a lot of blue whales were visiting the region with their young, so it looked like it was quite important area for the species. The project is called “Sounding the Blues” and it involves the long-term acoustic monitoring of blue whales.

  • Bat Conservation - UK

    Lesser horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus hipposideros) are under threat in the UK. The leader of this project is Emma Stone, a PhD student at the Bat Ecology and Bioacoustics Lab of the Mammal Research Unit at the University of Bristol. One World Wildlife started supporting her in 2007.
  • Monitoring Whales, Dolphins and Turtles in the Mediterranean

    The search for a population of sperm whales began in 2003 after visitors and locals reported various sightings around the Balearic islands of Mallorca and Menorca. Sadly, dead calves and adults indicate all might not be well. As of 2009, five full field seasons were completed.

  • Fighting Climate Change
    Low Fly Zone: In the coming decade we all need to move to a fossil fuel free world. Not all the changes will be easy but many are inevitable. When we travel on holiday, we will do so as a means to enjoy the world without damaging it. In this future, we value and enjoy most our immediate cultural and natural surroundings.
  • Freshwater Habitats - UK and Europe

    The humble pond in all its forms is host to many increasingly rare species across the UK. One World Wildlife supports the work of the The Ponds Conservation Trust as one of the most influential organisations in helping change our understanding of just how important ponds are. A wealth of species - from frogs, newts and toads to water beetles and rare plants - are guaranteed a more sustainable future thanks to the research and on-the-ground action taken by this small group of committed scientists. The ambitious million ponds project can help transform parts of the British countryside for generations to come with your help.
