Closer look: International Gorilla Conservation Programme

There are few species on earth as awe-inspiring as the gorilla, but sadly all four subspecies are highly endangered.

With just over 780 individuals remaining, the mountain gorilla is listed by the IUCN as Critically Endangered. Threatened by poaching and habitat loss, its trans-boundary range makes conservation all the more difficult.

Learn more about the International Gorilla Conservation Programme's work to save these majestic primates.

Iberian lynx

Species profile: Iberian lynx

Once widespread across the Iberian peninsula, Iberian lynx numbers have fallen dramatically in recent years due to the widespread decline of its preferred prey and habitat. It is now largely restricted to a few mountainous areas, and the race is on to save this Critically Endangered cat from extinction.

Find out how Fauna & Flora International is supporting local partner LPN in its work to restore key habitat and bring this species back from the brink.

Conservation challenge: our depleted oceans

We often think of our oceans as a vast and unknown wilderness, but if you peek beneath the waves you'll find a world that is far from pristine. From bleached corals and floating litter to decimated fish populations and ravaged seabeds, mankind's impacts are reaching further and deeper than ever before.

Learn more about Fauna & Flora International's expanding marine programme and its work to address these threats.
