| Proceedings of the First International Fishing Cat Conservation Symposium | |
| 2016 Conference Proceeding | |
The Fishing Cat Working Group (FCWG) was founded in spring 2011 with the aim of compiling and disseminating information about the Fishing Cat _Prionailurus viverrinus_ and encouraging conservation action for the species. Some FCWG members are involved in surveying ecology and status of the Fishing Cat in several range countries. Some have compiled available information on the historical distribution of the Fishing Cat. Together, we are determined to address conservation needs including mitigating threats to the survival of wild Fishing Cat populations. Already in 2012, we conceived the idea of organising a symposium to provide an opportunity to exchanging experiences gained by wildlife biologists and conservationists who work in Fishing Cat-related projects. The First International Fishing Cat Conservation Symposium was held between 25 and 29 November 2015 in Nepal and attended by 25 participants from nine countries. Two guests, Hem Sagar Baral and Chandra Shekhar Chaudhary, joined us on 25 November. |
