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 group focuses on civets, genets, Slither io binturongs, and other viverrids, especially species facing habitat loss, wildlife trade pressures, and declining populations.
Sprunki fills me with joy as a creative music game where playful visuals, catchy beats, and simple controls invite everyone to experiment, relax, and build unique soundscapes.
Most apps these days become frustrating after a few minutes because they either start freezing repeatedly or keep showing annoying loading problems during normal usage sessions online. Thankfully, that wasn’t really the case here while I was checking different sections yesterday evening on my phone. After spending more time exploring everything carefully, I realized IN999 Games actually felt smoother and more organized compared to many similar platforms I have used recently. The overall experience remained pretty comfortable throughout usage.
