Examining the shifting patterns of poaching from a long-term law enforcement intervention in Sumatra
Abstract Current levels of illegal wildlife trade for many in-demand species are unsustainable and place them at a heightened risk of extinction. While several Asian protected areas standout for their...

Conservation Paper | Canine Distemper Virus in a Wild Far Eastern Leopard Panthera pardus orientalis
A publication on CDV in a Far Eastern (Amur) leopard co-authored by our ZSL veterinarian in the Russian Far East, Mikhail Goncharuk, in Journal of Wildlife Diseases. The Far Eastern…
Abstract Wild tiger numbers continue to decline despite decades of conservation action. Identification, conservation and restoration of tiger habitat will be a key component of recovering tiger numbers across Asia. To identify...
