The Civet Project

The Civet Project is a research initiative dedicated to Viverrid species.

The Civet Project is a non-profit whose mission is to protect the intrinsic interests of civets (Viverrid sp.). Through the dissemination of civet research to lay and academic audiences, the Civet Project promotes ethical human-civet relationships and inspires empathy for lesser-known species including those of minimal conservation concern.

Here, we explore the hidden lives of a secretive and illusive family of small carnivores.
