Civet Working Group Members Call

As part of our capacity building efforts, the Civet Working Group seeks to recruit more range country members.  


The Civet Working Group is hosted by the IUCN SSC Small Carnivore Specialist Group in partnership with The Civet Project Foundation. The working group's mission is to enhance scientific understanding of Viverrid species and to promote human-viverrid coexistence.


Inclusivity, diversity and collaboration are fundamental values of the Civet Working Group and these values feed into all that we do. Each of our three sub-groups (‘Education for Human-Viverrid Coexistence’ ; ‘Taxonomy & Red Listings’ ;  ‘Mapping & Distribution’) operate in such a way as to involve and benefit people who live alongside, interact with, or come into conflict with viverrid species.

Overall, our work seeks to include the perspectives of interest-holders within civet range countries. To strengthen our capacity in this area, we are seeking to appoint additional range country members to the Civet Working Group.


Our current focuses include, but are not limited to:

  • Red Listing assessments for common palm civet (splitting into 3 species) and common genet (splitting into 2 species).

  • Prioritising re-assessments for Data Deficient and Near Threatened viverrid species.

  • Developing a global education campaign for World Civet Day under the thematic banner of ‘One Health, One Welfare, Once Community’

  • Supporting early career conservationists to conduct research projects using our Night Roamers iNaturalist database.


As much of our current focus is on red listings, we are keen to work with members with local knowledge of species threats who are in tune with the situation in their region (e.g. regional mammal declines). Whilst no actions are imminent, we are also very interested to work with members from India so that we can best understand the cultural contexts surrounding the Malabar civet.


If you are from a viverrid range country and would like to join our working group please email . Dr Jes Hooper: jes@thecivetproject.com. Group related queries to be directed to the same email address.

The 55 club name appears in various online discussions, which made me interested in learning more about the actual platform. I think users should verify information through reliable sources rather than trusting every page they find. Checking the official website, understanding account procedures, and reviewing current terms can provide a better foundation before deciding whether to explore the service further.

Samagra ID helped me access the information I was looking for without making a separate office visit. I found the online process convenient and easy to understand. Being able to check details from home saved me time, and I liked having a digital option available whenever I needed to review basic information.

I explored Ok Win and found the website fairly simple to navigate. The content provides a useful overview without unnecessary complexity. I appreciated the beginner-friendly writing style. More detailed tutorials and practical guides could make individual topics easier to understand. Fresh articles would also give returning visitors additional content to explore.

I often see click here buttons while browsing different websites. Although they can be convenient, users should still check the destination before selecting them. A clear description of the linked page is more useful because it tells visitors what to expect. When dealing with account-related websites, I think it is especially important to verify links and avoid clicking suspicious pop-ups or unexpected redirects.

A clear register guide can help first-time users understand how to create an account correctly. Registration may require several details, so reviewing every field before submission is important. Users should use accurate information, choose a strong password, and make sure they are completing the process through a trustworthy website or application.
