Our Vision...

...is a world where sustainable livelihoods replace civet exploitation.

What We Do

We protect all species within the Viverridae family - which includes civets, binturong, genets and linsang. Together, viverrids are some of the most ancient lines of "cat-like" animals and they are facing significant threats to their welfare and species survival.

We conduct innovative research, deliver educational outreach activities, and support in-situ and ex-situ organisations
working towards Viverrid protection goals.  

The Covet Project Research

RESEARCH

We conduct original research into civet species. We take a transdisciplinary approach to understand motivations and drivers towards actions that threaten civet protection.

The Civet Project Outreach

EDUCATION

We bring civet education into schools, universities, zoos and charitable events. Through educational outreach we promote sustainable pro-conservation and pro-welfare behaviour.
