NWHS Forges Conservation Alliance With Wildlife Trust of India
Source:NWHS WebNews
National Wildlife Humane Society and Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) have forged a conservation alliance to benefit three very important tiger protection projects in India. This collaboration allows anyone in the world, to make direct personal assistance through NWHS, to WTI, and play a real part in the effort to save wild tigers from extinction. These projects are "in the field and on the ground" by a group of highly motivated people with WTI. NWHS considers it an honor to assist WTI in their conservation work to preserve and protect tigers in India.
Each one of the three projects are multi-faceted and covers sustainable forest conservation, community partnerships, education, anti-poaching efforts, tiger rescue and release, human-tiger conflict mitigation, research etc. These three projects are; UTTAR PRADESH TIGER CONSERVATION PROJECT, VALMIKI CONSERVATION PROJECT, and RAPID ACTION PROJECTS (RAP). The projects have been integrated within NWHS as a single program called WTI Wild Tiger Conservation. As we near the end of "The Year Of The Tiger" (Feb. 2, 2011) sadly, we are also nearing the end of the wild tigers. It will take more than throwing millions of dollars at "advocacy" and rhetoric. It will take dedicated people working in the field, responding to the many pressures currently placed on wild tigers. Please view the NWHS alliance page for WTI, and the Presentation Video to get an overview of what these three projects entail and are accomplishing. We invite the public to explore the many efforts involved with wild tigers in India by WTI, and lend support to this very worthy cause. If you are unable to assist financially at this time, please help in getting the word out about this wild tiger program....

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said the female wolf, identified as F521, was found dead Dec. 2 in Catron County.
Investigators have identified the people believed to be involved, but Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jill Birchell declined to release any names.

Conservation appears to be working for the Critically Endangered mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) in the Virunga massif region, as a new census shows an additional 100 individuals from the last census in 2003, an increase of over a quarter. The Virunga massif is a region in three nations, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda, and covering three protected area.
"The survey results provide us with an excellent demonstration of how strong law enforcement efforts put in place to safeguard flagship species can advance species conservation, benefit local communities, and provide important revenue to governments," David Greer, African Great Ape Coordinator with WWF said. The census, conducted between March and April of this year, found 480 gorillas, whereas 7 years ago there were only 380. The only other population of mountain gorillas occurs in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southern Uganda, which is thought to number 302 individuals and 4 orphans, making a total of 786 wild mountain gorillas surviving...
