To Dolly Priatna (left), an Indonesian conservationist with an MA in conservation biology. Dolly is a Country Coordinator with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) Indonesia Tiger Project in Eastern Sumatra and ZSL is enabling him to study for his PhD on solutions to tiger-human conflict. Dolly’s contribution to wildlife conservation is inspirational for younger Indonesian biologists. So far we have supported him with travel funds to America for training and for the university fees for his PhD.

To the ZSL Indonesia Tiger Programme in eastern Sumatra. ZSL’s innovative programme is working with the palm oil, gas and timber industries in Indonesia, and with the palm oil industry in general, to provide information needed to reduce the impact of oil palm on wildlife. They are also piloting an exciting project to produce “tiger-friendly carbon credits” to provide sustainable funding for Berbak National Park. This is a forest full of tigers and other endangered animals, giving the government a clear financial incentive to protect it in the future. As part of this work, ZSL have started the first Wildlife Crime Unit for Jambi Province, based in the park and focusing on stopping the trade in tiger parts and protecting wild tigers from poaching.

To the Cambridge University Lepidoptery Expedition to Ecuador 2010. We provided last minute funding to help this expedition go ahead.

To the Vale Barn Owl Conservation Group. This group was formed in 2008 to promote barn owl conservation primarily in the Vale of Belvoir in Leicestershire. Working closely with farmers, gamekeepers, landowners and other individuals, the group provides nest boxes, habitat advice and monitors breeding success.
