"Threatened plants and animals, including elephants and pangolins are set to be
protected thanks to new UK government funding announced today, Saturday 29
April.
Over 80 conservation projects across the globe will benefit from nearly £40
million funding aimed at boosting international biodiversity, supporting the
communities that live alongside nature and tackling illegal wildlife trade.
Some of the successful projects include:
* Support for the International Snow Leopard Trust to provide specialised
training to combat the poaching of snow leopards in countries like Kyrgyzstan,
Mongolia, and Pakistan;
* Supporting the work of the Wildlife Conservation Society to reduce demand for
collagen rich Pangolin scales in Traditional Chinese Medicine;
* Supporting the Zoological Society of London’s effort to create sustainable
ways for humans and elephants to coexist in areas such as Thailand, where they
are often in conflict."
