Asiatic Cheetah Infographic Published

by مدیر سایت September 4, 2013
written by مدیر سایت 1 minutes read

“As the most recent educational product of the Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS), an info graphic poster about Asiatic cheetah was published. Combined of “Information” and “Graphic”, info graphics are increasingly becoming effective tools with a variety of educational purposes that illustrate knowledge in a simple but comprehensive way for public.

While they have been widely applied by different wildlife conservation organizations across the world for various species, such an innovative method has been rarely used in Iran. Accordingly, the ICS developed its first info graphic in partnership with Info gram Institute, an Iranian sophisticated center to produce subjective info graphs.

Besides its attractive layout, the ICS printed its info graphic posters on used papers in order to spread the word of saving natural resources. The cheetah poster was distributed to celebrate 31 August, as the Asiatic Cheetah Conservation Day and more will be shared with communities around the cheetah habitats in Iran. More carnivore species are now subject to design new infographic posters. You can easily download the poster here.

written by مدیر سایت 1 minutes read

“Following implementation of first phase of the project “Capacity building of Local Communities to Conserve Persian Leopard in Caucasus Eco-Region”, a newsletter was published to address local stakeholders, including community members about the project.

Initiated since 2011, the project tried to understand livelihood of the people within three main villages where all have high conflict with Persian leopard due to depredation on livestock. The newsletter aimed to share information and news among the people, illustrated project findings as well as reported activities done so far within the project.

Led by the Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS) with supports from UK-based People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) and Gilan Department of Environment, the project now is planning to resolve high conflict between the leopard and communities in Dorfak No
Hunting Area, northern Iran.

by مدیر سایت June 9, 2013
written by مدیر سایت 1 minutes read

“The first general encyclopedia for Iranian elementary learners was published by Talaee Publication Co. with close scientific cooperation of the Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS). This colorful handbook was published in 184 pages in May 2013 as a result of efforts of more than 20 Iranian science writers and advisers together with more than 50 graphic designers to make a proper reference for school kids who just have started their learning. Nature-related chapters on vertebrates and invertebrates were compiled by the ICS experts, Fatemeh Hosseini-Zavarei, Yasaman Hasanbeigi and Melika Ghelichpour.

Besides leading professional field-based research projects in Iran, the ICS has always been a leading role in writing and publishing science for public. So far, five different books, manuals and encyclopedia have been compiled by the ICS experts, targeting mainly school kids as well as teachers, aiming to spread the word on nature protection in the community.

Covering more than 100 subject categories with 1000 colorful illustration, the newly released Talaee encyclopedia is considered as a helpful reference to promote research among kids. More information can be obtained at www.talaee.ir.

Educational Theater

A Busy Winter in Tehran Zoo

by مدیر سایت March 17, 2013
written by مدیر سایت 1 minutes read

“Past winter was busy for the ICS theater team which was actively running an outreach program to raise awareness about Persian leopard and Asiatic cheetah in the capital. Every weekend, the ICS theater team implemented two different theaters, one targeting the cheetah and the other talking about the leopards for the zoo visitors. Besides educational programs in Tehran, the ICS has various community-based programs to conserve the Asiatic cheetahs and the Persian leopards across their range in Iran.  

You can browse the “Theater Image Report” to learn more about winter activities in the zoo.

After rebuilding to enhance animal welfare, the Tehran zoo which is the main menagerie in the country is now an educational place for the capital citizens to learn more about the country’s vanishing wildlife. Presently, a variety of Iranian cats are kept in the zoo, including the Persian leopard which its front is the theater scene for the ICS group. The ICS theater team is grateful to the Tehran Zoo authorities as well as Saman Golriz (Iran TV master chef) for their cooperation and support during the winter program.

Partnership for Protecting Alamout

by مدیر سایت November 5, 2012
written by مدیر سایت 2 minutes read

“In order to increase local people’s awareness about Persian leopard, villages within range of Alamout mountains hosted community outreach programs to save Persian leopard in the area. Jointly organized by Qazvin Department of Environment and Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS), half-day festivals were held in three main communities where recent increase in human-leopard conflicts has been a major challenge. Therefore, compensation programs are pursued in case of approved livestock depredation to prevent the species poaching. The community program aimed to introduce the compensation topic to the people, to share the camera trapping project Qazvin DoE is running and to enhance local people’s knowledge on the species.

ICS conservation educators implemented “Persian Leopard Theater” talking about main challenges the species has with communities, regarding lack of prey and livestock depredation. In the meantime, the people received short footage of a recent educational film the ICS has produced about the species. Qavin DoE’s experts also described their findings during past four years of camera trapping in the area and how they can ask the DoE to pay for their animal, if they lose to the leopard.

Laid within Elburz Mountain south of Caspian Sea, Alamut is a main leopard area, close to Iranian Caucasus eco-region where the species is experiencing a drastic decline both in number and area. In recent years, several leopards have been poached in that area, mainly due to conflict with local people. After launching of the compensation program, it is hoped that more tolerance toward the leopard can be achieved.
