TRANSCRIPT
2011 Whitley Awards
“What are the qualities that a Whitley Award winner has to have? Well, ofcourse they must be fluent in the wilder parts of the world and know what itis to live fairly uncomfortably. They need to know the consequences of theactions that they take. And they have to be diplomats; able to talk with thelocal people, without whose help, conservation is impossible.“Sir David Attenborough, Trustee.
Welcome to the 18th Annual Whitley Awards for International
Nature Conservation.
This year we mark the 10th anniversary of our partnership with WWF-UK, who in turn are celebrating their own 50 years. Since 2001, WWF has supported the work of new Whitley Award winners onland and sea, from high in the mountains to the depths of rainforests.Over these past ten years, lasting partnerships have been built thathave served to enhance the impact of our Award winners and provideWWF’s global reach a vital link to focussed grassroots leadership.
Improving collaboration and sharing strengths, experience andresources, is key to the future of all nature conservation. It enablesthose on the frontline, like the seven finalists you will meet tonight, topunch above their weight, building on the groundswell support of theirgrassroots endeavours to achieve even greater success.
This year, the finalists come from Argentina, Belize, Croatia, India,Indonesia, Russia and Uzbekistan. Each winner will receive £30,000 offunding in support of their work over the coming year, as well as newskills, contacts and our support to maximise the impact of theincreased profile they may obtain off the back of their Whitley Award.

Mammologist Elena Bykova is ExecutiveSecretary of the Saiga Conservation Alliance(SCA), an international NGO established in2006 to promote the restoration of thecritically endangered saiga antelope, theflagship species of the Eurasian steppe.Highly specialised, with a unique fleshy noseadapted to the dusty environment, the saiga helps maintain the steppe ecosystemon which it depends. Its conservation iscrucial to many other species that share thisvast habitat.
Leading efforts in Uzbekistan since 2004,
Elena is working to protect the saigapopulation of the Ustyurt plateau, one of justfive remaining worldwide, and the one mostthreatened with extinction. Once abundantthroughout Eurasia, following the fall of theSoviet Union saiga quickly became one ofthe world’s fastest declining species. Aslocal people were thrust into poverty, so toowere the systems for hunting control andwildlife trade lost. Historically used on asmall scale for meat, since the late 1990sunsustainable hunting for horns fortraditional Chinese medicine has led to thetotal saiga population crashing by 95% in justten years. As few as 50,000 now remain.
Elena describes the scale of the problem,“We visited saiga areas in Uzbekistanunder this project and were shocked somuch – the Ustyurt plateau where saigaslived in Uzbekistan looked like a cemeteryof dinosaurs. It was covered by saigaskulls with cut off horns, its skeletons andbones – a terrible vision.”
Over the past six years, Elena and hercolleagues have worked with localcommunities, building relationships withschools, women’s groups, officials and ex-hunters, to promote saiga conservation
across the region. Participatory monitoringby “Saiga Friends” is core to the work. As the Ustyurt saiga population istransboundary, spending the summer inKazakhstan before migrating to Uzbekistanfor the winter, the local knowledge of ex-hunters – now armed with GPS recordersinstead of guns – is vital in identifyingimportant saiga areas and helping to guideeffective management.
Elena also carries out in-depth evaluationof her previous work, analysing its impact onthe knowledge, attitudes and behaviouracross the community. “For example, I want to test the theory that women are apowerful voice in the household, and ifthey see the benefits of saigas as part oftheir culture, they will tell their sons andhusbands not to poach and theythemselves will not buy saiga meat”. In doing so Elena hopes to show that publicengagement really does lead to reductions insaiga poaching and so provide a provenguide to future work to save the saiga.

Hotlin Ompusunggu, from Sumatra, is not your average conservation leader. A doctor of Dental Surgery, Hotlin isProgram Manager of the NGO Alam SehatLestari (ASRI), an organisation founded in2007 and dedicated to protecting GunungPalung National Park in SouthwesternBorneo, whilst also improving thehealthcare of communities that surround it.
Within Gunung Palung’s 90,000 hectaresare possibly the most intact lowlandhardwood forests left in Indonesia. Home tomany endangered species including hornbillsand gibbons, some 2,500 orangutans alsolive here, 10% of the entire global populationof an ape species gravely threatened byhabitat loss. It is estimated that 98% ofIndonesia’s rainforests will disappear overthe next decade, with the lowland forestswhere orangutans live at greatest risk.Between 1988 and 2002, 38% of GunungPalung’s lowland forests were lost – aproblem that Hotlin has witnessed first hand,“The miles of low-laying swamp forest
that previously lay between the road andthe park have been chipped away, yearafter year, and now lie degraded. Somedays the sounds of chainsaws can beheard from our clinic.”
Poverty and poor health are powerfulagents of deforestation and more than a thirdof local households have been involved atsome point in illegal logging. Hotlin is workinghard to change this. Through healthcareincentives, ASRI is applying creative solutionsto remove the need for people to overexploitthe forest whilst improving the health of60,000 villagers. Those families who stoplogging receive extra discounts on dental and medical care at the clinic. No-one is turned away. Those who do log are
encouraged to participate in restorationactivities or the NGO’s many alternativelivelihood programmes.
To date, the clinic has treated more than16,800 patients and a mobile clinic servicefor remote villages has helped a further1,200 people.
Following requests from locals who arenot involved in logging, Hotlin and ASRI areestablishing groups of “Forest Guardians”from nearby villages. These guardiansmonitor logging, teach others about theimportance of healthy forest ecosystemsand promote the benefits – both general andin terms of healthcare rewards – ofprotecting, rather than deforesting, the park.
Hotlin is putting the responsibility ofconserving Ganung Palung’s forests back inthe hands of the people who need themmost and giving them the opportunity toimprove their own welfare in both the shortand long-term.
“Patients say this system makes themfeel safe in the world, knowing that ifanything serious happens to them, they will be OK and will not have to go intodebt or do illegal logging to pay for theirhealth care”

Dr Igor Prokofyev is Founder and Director of the Grassroots Alliance PERESVET, anNGO based in Bryansk, Western Russiawhich is leading new efforts to conserveRussia’s hitherto overlooked bat species.Threatened by deforestation, pollution andloss of roosting sites, many of Russia’s bat species are in decline, along with theirnatural ancient forest habitat. Of the some 41 species of bat that occur in Russia, 17 are threatened with extinction.
A biologist by training, Igor turned hisattention to bats in 2008 when he realisedthat despite being particularly important forbats, with many species migrating here fromacross Europe in summer, Bryansk had noprogramme for their conservation or study.
Bats are frequently misunderstood buttheir conservation is of great importance topeople because of the free pollination andother ecosystem services they provide.“Bats are very useful animals becausethey kill so many insect pests. This iscrucial for agriculture and very important
for local farmers”. Despite their importance,little is known about Russia’s bat populationsand their protection is rarely taken intoconsideration.
Igor is the Coordinator of iBats Russia,the county’s first large-scale monitoringprogram for bats. Together with his team, heis working with local volunteers, conductingsurveys to identify and record the presenceof different species by their unique callsusing ultrasound technology.
Following high initial interest, PERESVET plans to scale up the programmethroughout Western Russia, increasing the number of monitoring sites from 20 to100 and significantly expanding the network of volunteers. The data collectedwill help make recommendations for the future management of bats andconservation guidelines for landownerswhere bats are present.
Central to this expansion is the creationof Bat Conservation Russia, the country’sfirst bat-focussed charity. An alliance ofscientists, community groups and NGOs,BCR will strengthen cooperation andresource sharing for bat conservation across Russia.
A Bat Conservation Centre is also beingdeveloped as a hub for education. Igor feelsthat successfully changing attitudes is one ofhis most important goals, as many bats havebecome synanthropic, forced to roost inbuildings as their natural habitat is lost. “One village has been very successful insuch changes. Local people were againstplans for cutting the unique old growingforest near their village and the localschool organised a “Bat’s Friends Club”.The children started a program for theprotection old trees, organising batsurveys in the village and gainingprotection of roost in peoples’ homes”.

Jana Bedek is the President of the CroatianBiospelogical Society (CBSS), anorganisation dedicated to the research andprotection of the subterranean karsthabitats of the Dinaric Arc – an 800km longregion pitted with vast networks ofunderground caves, lakes and rivers.Stretching from Trieste in Italy in the Northand passing through Croatia down toAlbania in the south, the karst also spreadsinto Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia.
The Dinaric Arc covers some 10,000km2
yet remains largely unexplored. Surprisingly,the region is also highly biodiverse, and its
caves are the richest for for subterraneanfauna in the world. Many species areendemic, strictly tied to their specifichabitat, and are often known from only asmall number of localities – even just asingle cave.
Despite the unique life here, theunderground habitats of the Dinaric Arc areunder increasing pressure. Threatened bypollution, water extraction, quarrying andhydroelectric dams, there is a risk that manyspecies may be lost to extinction, somebefore they are even known to science.Also, as Europe’s largest underground river system and a major source of water,the effective conservation of subterraneanecosystems is vital to people as well as wildlife.
Since 2000, the CBSS has worked tostudy and conserve these overlooked karst habitats at the national level in Croatia, and now aim to scale up to coverthe entire Dinaric Arc eco-region. Throughthe establishment of an active scientificnetwork, Jana is building capacity andestablishing much-needed channels forsharing knowledge among organisations andexperts across all the countries involved.
Collected data will be used to increaseawareness of the importance and value of underground karst habitats, and will be presented to stakeholders andgovernment authorities to help guideplanning and management.
The team’s work underground can bedangerous, but there are also manychallenges above ground. An essential partof the project is the capturing of localknowledge to help locate cave mouths. Janaworries about this, “One of my fears is thatwe will not be able to locate some of thevery important caves that were mentionedin ancient literature. Since there are todayvery few people remaining in some ruralplaces we are losing social memory andhave failed to find some caves, even with their help”
By identifying specific karstic features,known as Cave type localities, key sites canbe legally protected as shelters for highlyendemic and endangered fauna, helping inturn to establish long term protection forentire underground landscapes.

Argentinean biologist, Luis Rivera, isPresident of the Foundation for Conservationand the Study of Biodiversity (CEBioFoundation), an NGO dedicated to informingeffective conservation decision making in the Southern Yungas region of Argentinaand Bolivia.
The Southern Yungas, where Luis grewup, stretches down from the easternfoothills of the Andes, and is characterisedby large areas of subtropical montane forest.Supporting more than 80 endemic and anumber of highly threatened species, theforests here are of great conservationimportance. In Argentina, the SouthernYungas represents only 2% of the land buthas 50% of the total bird species.
However, the Southern Yungas is beingdegraded at an alarming rate, even insideprotected areas. The problem is especiallysevere in Bolivia where the forest has a highhuman density and burning anddeforestation are common. Luis explains,“Local people are indifferent to the threats
to the forest and wild species because they don’t have enough information about the importance of the forest to their daily lives or of the damaging impact of manyhuman activities”
Parrots are amongst the world’s mostendangered birds and since 2003 Luis has ledefforts to save the endemic Alder Amazon(Amazona tucumana). Considered a pest bysome communities and threatened by habitatloss and poaching for the pet trade, Luis hastransformed the Alder Amazon into a flagshipspecies. Through education he is using theparrot to inspire local communities in bothBolivia and Argentina to conserve theSouthern Yungas’s wild resources whilst alsoworking with municipal governments to grant
formal protection of these birds and theirhabitat at local level.
“Before our work people were indifferent or predisposed negatively about parrots. Now they recognise thespecies as an important component of their natural heritage. Some local peoplehave even started ecological economicactivities, becoming birdwatching guides for ecotourists.“
Luis and his team are expanding theirwork to include a second parrot species, thevulnerable Military Macaw (Ara militaris).Occurring at lower altitudes than the Alder Amazon, its piedmont forest habitat ishighly threatened by conversion toagriculture. The species is little studied, butwith help from local people trained in roostmonitoring techniques, Luis aims to gatherinformation essential to ensuring itseffective conservation.
By combining conservation of bothspecies, Luis is finding a way to not onlyconserve two of South America’s mostthreatened parrots, but also gainingprotection for the entire elevational gradientof the Southern Yungas, and so thebiodiversity that it contains.

Rachel Graham is the Director of theWildlife Conservation Society’s Gulf andCaribbean Sharks and Rays Program and amember of the IUCN Shark SpecialistGroup. A Belizean national and a marineconservationist for over 20 years, she leads a dedicated local team in efforts toconserve Belize’s top marine predators.
Spectacular natural features, including theworld’s second largest barrier reef, and anabundance of marine life, make Belize ahaven for international tourism, an industrythat has become a primary source of local
income. A quarter of Belizeans now rely ontourism for at least part of their livelihoods.
The abundance of sharks and rays in thispart of the Caribbean is one of Belize’sbiggest draws, yet their future, and that ofthe income they attract, is far from secure.Although not traditionally targeted in localfisheries, shark populations are beingplundered by commercial fishers coming intoBelizean waters from neighbouring Mexico,Guatemala and Honduras.
Rachel explains, “As apex predators,sharks are critical to healthy oceanecosystems and, should they disappear, sotoo would many irreplaceable marineresources, with catastrophic ecological andeconomic consequences”. With a third ofthe world’s shark species vulnerable toextinction, their conservation is urgent.
In 2004, after successfully achievingprotection for the globally vulnerable whaleshark population in Belize, Rachel moved herfocus to the country’s other sharks findingthat once abundant species had becomelocally extinct. This was bad news for localpeople – without sharks, ecosystemsbecome unbalanced, leading to cascadingunpredictable consequences, such as
loss of resilience in coral reefs and fisheries,with knock on impacts for both tourism andfood security.
In response, Rachel is collaborating withstakeholders, including the FisheriesDepartment, to put in place Belize’s firstNational Plan of Action for Sharks, ensuringthat their protection is included in themanagement plans of seven marineprotected areas (MPAs) along the coast.
Raising awareness and getting people onthe side of sharks are prerequisites tosecuring their survival. Giving talks andrunning field work trips with schools andlocal communities, Rachel is already seeingthat views towards sharks can change.
“Many of the fishers I’ve worked withlater approach me to tell me they releasesharks accidently caught on their hookswhereas before they would kill them.Other locals who have heard me talk orhave been involved in research noweagerly tell me when they encounter ashark in the water and speak withexcitement, whereas in the past manywould speak with fear”

Ramana Athreya is the Biodiversity Research and Conservation Coordinator ofEcoSystems-India. An astronomer byprofession, for the past three decades,Ramana has focussed his attentionincreasingly away from the stars to becomeone of India’s most skilled naturalists.
Since 2003, Ramana has worked with thetribal communities of Arunachal Pradesh tostrengthen conservation of one of India’s lastareas of relatively unspoilt wilderness.Nestled in the shadow of the Himalayas,with 70% of its forest cover still intact,Arunachal Pradesh is the least industrialisedand least populated of India’s 28 states. A globally important biodiversity hotspot,two-thirds of India’s species occur here,including tigers and elephants, along withmany rare birds, insects, reptiles, and plants – an astonishing array of life.
Arunachal Pradesh is also culturallydiverse. Its million or so inhabitants consistof dozens of unique groups, each with theirown religious systems and languages.
However, the region also has one of thecountry’s highest rates of population growthand is experiencing increasing development,with mega-projects such as the building ofroads an escalating threat. The future ofArunachal Pradesh’s wild areas and thespecies they contain is uncertain.
Conservation in the region has historicallybeen haphazard. Ramana explains,“Conservation here largely operates in aknowledge vacuum. The management ofwildlife sanctuaries is based on few dataand with virtually no input from thecommunities who impact them most.”
Ramana has worked to change this andengage local people. In 2003, his team wasthe first to document the area's rare and
endangered wildlife, in doing so discoveringthe Bugun Liocichla, the first bird new toIndia in 60 years. Named after the tribe whowere central to Ramana’s research effort, itled to the refusal by the Indian SupremeCourt to develop a highway through the‘Eaglenest’ area.
Building on such successes, Ramanacontinues to fill the knowledge gaps whilstreducing the adversarial relationship seenbetween local communities and ForestOfficials. He is establishing formalconservation organisations in five key wildlifesanctuaries across the state, where allstakeholders can interact to understand oneanother and join forces for mutuallybeneficial conservation.
Ramana is transferring responsibility backto local tribespeoples, who are increasinglyproud of the globally important wildernesson their doorstep. “Locals appreciate ourefforts towards marrying conservationwith economic benefits, and in makingthem an integral part of the conservationeffort. Developments in ecotourism arealso beginning to create considerable localemployment and revenue.”
