Featured projects

The Snow Leopard

Snow Leopard

Snow leopards, Panthera uncia, inhabit some of the most hostile, snow-swept and least productive territories on the earth. Their population may count as low as 3,500 individuals, spread in a dozen of countries in South and Central Asia, from Nepal to Russia, an area of more than half a million square miles. The Snow Leopard Conservancy is a non-profit organization working with local people to solve the conflicts between the agropastoral activities and this big cat with the purpose of protecting this charismatic species and to find optimal livestock management practices for the farmers. The Snow Leopard Conservancy is using GIS to try to best estimate Snow Leopard population and to identify and manage its habitat. Mappamondo GIS adopted one of the cub identified by the camera trap. To support and know more about the Snow Leopard Conservancy efforts visit their website!

Ring Tailed Lemur

The Madagascar Lemurs

The lemurs of Madagascar face probable extinction within the next half-century if adequate conservation programs are not developed. Habitat loss remains the major threat to primate survival. Several inter-disciplinary efforts focus on how geographic and anthropogenic factors affect the behavior, demography, health, and genetics of endangered lemurs in Madagascar. GIS are often used as support tools. Mappamondo GIS adopted a ring tailed lemur from Madagascar!

Falkland Penguin

Where Do Falkland Penguins Go in Winter?

In 1997 the Falkland Conservation society started a satellite tracking study on the winter migration of Magellanic and Rockhopper Penguins breeding in the Falkland Islands. Support this and other projects by adopting a penguin. Mappamondo GIS adopted the King Penguin "Bold" at Volunteer Point!

Koala

Mapping Koala's habitat

In 1992, the Australian Koala Foundation embarked upon an ambitious project called ‘The Koala Habitat Atlas” which aimed to identify, map and rank all remaining koala habitat across the koala’s geographic range – roughly one million square kilometres. Support this project with us by planting a tree!

Zapata track at sea

Following Zapata journey: Satellite Tracking at seaturtle.org

The goal of the satellite tracking program is to provide marine animal researchers with an easy-to-use tool for collecting, managing and sharing their satellite tracking data in near real-time. Mappamondo GIS has adopted the sea turtle Zapata. Zapata may prove to be the first wild caught turtle to swim all the way back to Japan....go Zapata!
