News from Palawan 🏝

On April 1, the team was busy for a good reason: the annual meeting of ABConservation Foundation Inc.!

This year, we decided to make it a celebration by inviting not only our members, but also our most active volunteers, as well as our partners and important actors in conservation in Palawan. Together, we reviewed our achievements in 2025 and highlighted our projects and goals for 2026. Afterwards, we enjoyed a meal together and discussed everyone's work and potential future collaborations between organisations.

We are truly thankful to everyone who supports ABConservation. Indeed, the work of ABconservation is only possible thanks to the hard work of many people, and we are committed to continuous improvement for binturong conservation.

Special thanks go to our board members and volunteers, as well as to Katala, ELAC, PCSDS, City ENRO, PPC Water District, PSU and WPU, who sent representatives to the meeting and contributed to interesting and meaningful discussions. We can't wait to develop more projects. Get ready for our next achievements!

Jaja's favourite photo of binturongs is the one we're sharing with you today. Since May 2024, he has been volunteering with the Philippines team. Jaja is from Palawan and helping mainly on the events.

Jaja explains his choice:
"I chose this image as the Picture of the Month because it perfectly captures the playful spirit and cuteness of the binturong (bearcat). Capturing such a vulnerable species in a moment of pureness and joy, the photo acts as an ambassador for its kind. It reminds us that wildlife isn't just a 'resource' or a 'subject'—these are individuals with personalities and a sense of play." 😊

Thank you, Jaja, for sharing this image with us. See you next month to discover another member's favourite photo of binturong.😉

Introducing ABConservation partners🎥

Today, we’re spotlighting HOO ZOO. 🐾

HOO ZOO is a wildlife park in the United Kingdom that offers much more than just a visit: it is a place dedicated to raising awareness about biodiversity and wildlife conservation. Through various educational exhibits, it helps visitors better understand environmental issues and discover a wide variety of species. 🐾🌍

The park also features an immersive dinosaur zone for all ages, combining discovery, fun, and learning. 🦖

In 2025, HOO ZOO supported our association with a donation of €810, dedicated to our scientific programme. This valuable support directly contributes to several of our scientific initiatives.
These donations are essential to allow us to grow, learn, and share even more. 🌱🔬

A huge thank you to HOO ZOO for their trust and commitment to our cause. 🙏

🐾World Binturong Day 2026 ! 🐾

Dans tout juste un mois, nous célébrerons la 12e édition de la Journée mondiale du binturong !

Notez bien la date : samedi 9 mai 2026 🗓️

La Journée mondiale du binturong a été créée pour sensibiliser à cette espèce unique et souligner l’importance de sa protection, même avec des ressources limitées. Chaque année, nous sommes ravis de voir des zoos et des organisations de protection de la faune du monde entier se joindre à cette célébration spéciale. 🥰

Envie de vous impliquer et de soutenir la conservation du binturong ? N’hésitez pas à nous contacter ! Nous organiserons des événements à travers l’Europe et aux Philippines (et peut-être ailleurs aussi), alors restez à l’affût des prochaines informations.

In honor of World Civet Day, let’s shine a spotlight on civets, animals that are often overlooked but essential to their ecosystems 🌿

These fascinating animals play a key role in seed dispersal and the preservation of biodiversity. By getting to know them better and understanding their importance, we can work toward a world where civets and binturongs live safely and freely. 🐾
