Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 150510828) - Fishing Cat - Awarded $4,000 on September 20, 2015
20-09-2015 - Fishing Cat

The study focuses on examining the ecology and behaviour of the endangered fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) in the urban wetland habitats found in the Colombo metropolitan area. This habitat is currently under threat, due to severe habitat destruction caused by rapid urban development. Our project hopes to use the relationship these cats have with their urban surroundings to help promote green infrastructure development practices.
