This month's iSeahorse featured observation is from Negros in the Philippines. Nudisusie managed to capture this excellent shot of a very pregnant thorny seahorse, Hippocampus histrix . It looks as though he’s just about to give birth to a whole bunch of tiny seahorses. Seahorses are well-known for…

The vast 170-ha of mangroves in Sinandigan (Ubay, Bohol) was surveyed by the ZSL Biologists with the help of 6 Marine Bio students from BISU. The students were taught first on the method as well as the identification of the different mangroves species before we did the actual surveys. Because of the teams' strong will, determination and passion, we only finished it in 3 days. Kudos!

25 youth leaders from Sinandigan Ubay, Bohol volunteered in the bagging of Avicennia marina (Bungalon) mangrove seedlings assisted by ZSL-PSF biologists and POs. They had bag a total of 1,256 seedlings for 3 consecutive days (in 2hrs a day). They said they had learned so much on the importance of mangrove and will never forget the experience. Thanks to you guys!

As we move forward this year (2014), we are reminded of the impacts, the human and environmental losses brought about by the calamities (i.e.earthquake, typhoon) that badly affected Bohol and the rest of the Philippines. We recognize that there is a need to stand and continue to push all the more for the preservation of our future communities and our environments.

This year, we continue to venture into new realms, new strategies for marine conservation building on our experiences.

We hope for your full support!

Meanwhile, at the Danajon Bank...

About 66 percent of Boholanos are still suffering from poverty this year or consider themselves poor, according to the Bohol Poll 2013 results conducted by Holy Name University (HNU) Research Center.

INTERESTED TO SAVE THE WORLD'S ENDANGERED SPECIES? THEN JOIN EDGE!
The Zoological Society of London’s EDGE of Existence programme (www.edgeofexistence.org) is the only global conservation initiative focusing specifically on threatened species that represent a significant amount of unique evolutionary history. One of the most effective ways in which the programme is working to secure the future of EDGE species is by awarding two-year Fellowships to future conservation leaders (“EDGE Fellows”) working on poorly-known EDGE mammal, amphibian or coral species. We are now accepting applications for the 2013-15 Fellowship Programme.

EDGE Fellows follow a comprehensive two-year training programme comprising of:

· A 4-week Conservation Tools training course in Kenya (location to be confirmed) at the beginning of the programme to provide Fellows with essential training in techniques to plan and implement their project;

· A grant to undertake a 2-year project on a top-priority EDGE species;

· Ongoing technical support/mentoring (achieved via online modules, web-based tutorials/seminars, and field visits) throughout the Fellowship;

· A 2-week Conservation Leadership training course in London on successful completion of Fellowship to help Fellows prepare for the next stage of their career.

The application form, guidelines, and eligibility criteria are available to download on the EDGE of Existence website (www.edgeofexistence.org/conservation/fellows) or can be requested from the EDGE Fellows Co-ordinator ([email protected]). We strongly encourage applicants to discuss their projects with us before applying, and are happy to give feedback on a draft of the application before the deadline.

The next application deadline is 31st March 2013. All applications will be reviewed by a panel of experts. Successful applicants will be announced by June 2013.

Edge species are truly one of a kind. If they disappear there will be nothing similar left on the planet. Two-thirds are receiving little or no conservation attention. Help save these remarkable species.
