On September 5 and 6, our team visited Manila as guests of Barkada Furfest 2026, a furry festival. Their new mascot for 2026 is a binturong, and we are delight that they chose our organization as its charity recipient. We received a donation of more than 100,000 pesos from their charity auction. This enormous amount of your financial support will be a huge help in saving these little-known endangered species the Palawan bearcat. Our team also had the opportunity to raise awareness about the binturong to their community, and we hold a booth for two days.

On October 13, we joined a one day training of parliamentary procedure organized by local people's council which is helpful for setting rules and effective governance of the organization.

Our utmost gratitude goes to the event organizers for their support and for choosing to support our organization. As well as the training organized by the local people council, which is helpful for our organization's effective governance.
Cheers to their next event coming up for the organizers, and we wish them all the best! Thank you for supporting our organization mission’s protecting the binturong.

Let's talk about umbrella species! Could the binturong be one?

Although binturongs contribute to tropical forest ecosystems through seed dispersal, more research is needed to understand whether protecting them could also benefit other species.

💬 What do you think? Could the binturong be an umbrella species?

News from the Field 🔎🐾🎒

Did you miss us?
The whole of August was riddled with rain, so our team couldn’t do any field activities. Despite that, our camera traps were all actively at work and still managed to capture our latest sightings of the binturong! Talk about having eyes in the forest 👀 One binturong was even detected at 9 AM! Why is the binturong awake at this time? What is it doing? That we must find out 🔍

Speaking of the field, finally! Our team had the chance to go back to the field and continue our research excursions. This time, we were joined by our intern Chloé, who had her first fieldwork experience ever in the Philippines. The terrain was very challenging for the team due to the rain, but nothing can stop them (with caution, of course 😉)!

We also welcomed another intern who will work under the BSP, please give a warm welcome to Soléne! 🌟 She will study the activity pattern of the binturong in our second study site, hopefully giving us a fuller picture on their activity in Palawan. 🧐

September was also full of opportunities for the team! Rollyna, our Research Program Manager, got to attend the Balod-Balod Biodiversity Youth Camp 2026 organized by GYBN Philippines and the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity. She met youth from all over the country working on different aspects of conservation, got to exchange with leaders and community members of the Egongot, Alta, and Dumagat IP communities in Aurora, and strengthened her current capacities in conservation work. We are excited to see how this can translate in our mission to conserve the binturongs in Palawan. 💚

She was also invited as a speaker to the September Colloquium at Western Philippines University. She discussed innovative ways in which we study the binturong in the wild, what we currently know about their activity patterns, and what students can learn from doing research with one of the most elusive mammals in Palawan. 💪🏾

And that’s another month of news from the field! À bientôt 🐾

Our Research Program Manager, Rollyna Domingo, was recently invited to Western Philippines University WPU College of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences to share about the research for conservation work that we do here at ABConservation in the Philippines.

"The colloquium highlighted the value of innovative field research methods, such as camera trapping, in studying and protecting elusive terrestrial wildlife like the binturong, and in strengthening broader efforts to safeguard the country's rich biodiversity. It fostered a meaningful exchange between students, faculty, and conservation advocates, inspiring participants to integrate innovation and awareness into their future scientific and community endeavors."

Thank you again for inviting us! 🐾

News from the US 🇺🇲

Last month, the American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) together with Stephanie, our volunteer and representative in the US, organised a fundraiser for ABConservation: a Bingo for binturongs. 💚

Here are a few words from Quinton Wade, who was part of the organising committee for this event for the North Carolina AAZK chapter:

"What started as a fun idea for an event quickly evolved into something so much more. Bringing Bingo for Binturongs to life meant navigating licensing, forms, and countless rounds of rereading, but every step was worth it. We were incredibly fortunate to have an amazing team of passionate individuals who shared our love and enthusiasm for binturongs. Local businesses throughout North Carolina generously donated prizes, including our grand prize for the evening from the Greensboro Science Center: an unforgettable behind-the-scenes tour with the opportunity to personally meet their binturongs.

Every table was filled with ABConservation coloring pages and informational flyers, giving guests a chance to learn more about these incredible animals while they played.

Guests also received popcorn with their admission, adding a little extra fun to the evening. Our original goal was to welcome 30 people. Instead, we had more than 80 bingo players! The incredible turnout exceeded our expectations and made the night truly special. Our team was thrilled with how successful the event was, and we’re already looking ahead and beginning to plan for next year." 😁

This initiative raised $1,250 for ABConservation, which is fantastic, provides invaluable support for our projects in Palawan. 🐾

A huge thank you once again to Quinton and the whole team at NC AAZK, the Greensboro Science Center, and the North Carolina Zoo, as well as to our dedicated volunteer, Stephanie. 🙏
