African elephant taxonomy: identifying African elephant populations classifications for decision-making and recommendations for conservation A number of scientists have provided evidence that the African elephant should be classified as two species, Loxodonta africana and L. cyclotis, and it is possible that the failure to recognize two species has negative consequences for conservation policies regarding African elephants. This project would collect samples from identified locations to resolve some remaining questions, engage researchers to analyze samples to classify the elephant populations in those locations, compile data from all sources to identify the classifications of populations across the African elephant range states, design an accessible table and map to display the findings of this research, and conduct outreach to convey the results to interested and relevant policy-makers and stakeholders.
Rhino & Tiger Conservation Fund This project provides funds necessary for the operating expenses of the IUCNs African Rhino Specialists Group which provides technical support for all African rhino range states and objective advice to non-range states. This funding will support the operating budget for the period July 2014-June 2015, including expenses of the scientific officer, travel and operating costs of the Chair, Vice Chair and scientific officer in order to provide objective, reliable and timely scientific information to the international community on African rhinos and to provide technical support for the development and long-term maintenance of viable populations of all subspecies of African black and white rhinos.

African elephant conservation genetics: GIS mapping of haplotypes for ivory forensics This project supports the work of geneticists who have been identifying the geographic region of origin of ivory using genetic markers. It will refine the method for mapping mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to source sites using existing reference samples, a method that shows great promise in identifying geographic origin more reliably than previous methods. The project will collect additional samples from unsampled sites, and will develop a system and conduct training to make this technique and technology accessible and usable in African range states and wherever seizures occur.
COUNTERING CHEETAH TRAFFICKING FROM THE HORN OF AFRICA TO THE ARABIAN PENINSULA THE ILLEGAL TRADE IN CHEETAHS ACINONYX JUBATUS IS INCREASINGLY THREATENING THE EXISTENCE OF THE REMAINING POPULATIONS IN BOTH THE HORN OF AFRICA AND OTHER EAST AFRICAN RANGE STATES. AN ESTIMATED 300 OR MORE CHEETAHS ARE TRAFFICKED THROUGH THIS REGION ANNUALLY, REPRESENTING AN UNSUSTAINABLE LOSS GIVEN THERE ARE LESS THAN 7000 CHEETAHS IN THE WILD.

African Elephant Conservation Fund Funds will support the production of a film to be used for training law enforcement personnel and customs officers around the world about the plight of the elephant, the fight against poaching and the illegal trade in ivory. The film will include interviews with rangers risking their lives to protect elephants, representatives of international treaties and transnational law enforcement bodies, and experts on forensic techniques and wildlife crime in order to make officers aware of the toll poaching is taking on elephants and on ways that traffickers can be intercepted and successfully prosecuted.

This award will focus on activities implemented in Naouabale Ndoki National Park and its periphery, Republic of Congo, but will be linked to an additional Cooperative Agreement (F19AC00742 to the African Parks Foundation of America) in terms of implementing the outlined objectives at the landscape scale through coordination across the landscape, facilitated by substantial involvement by the Service.
CREATING SYSTEMS TO MONITOR WILD CHEETAHS AND DETERMINE DRIVERS OF ILLEGAL TRADE IN THE HORN OF AFRICA CHEETAHS IN THE HORN OF AFRICA HOA ARE UNDER IMMENSE THREAT FROM INTENSE HUMAN ACTIVITIES, BUT ESPECIALLY FROM THE ILLEGAL WILDLIFE PET TRADE. CHEETAH CONSERVATION FUNDS CCF WORK IN THE HOA HAS REVEALED THAT AS MANY AS 300 CUBS WERE REMOVED FROM EAST AFRICA EACH YEAR BETWEEN 2010-2019 TO SUPPLY ILLEGAL DEMAND. IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION IS NECESSARY TO CONSERVE THE POPULATION. HOWEVER, PROPER CONSERVATION PLANNING IS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON POPULATION STATUS AND DRIVERS OF POACHING.
