The NGO dedicated to the binturong

Our missions

Arctictis Binturong Conservation is the world’s only association dedicated entirely to the study and protection of a charming little mammal from Southeast Asia: the binturong. Very little known by the general public and understudied by scientists, everything about it remains to be discovered and the challenge is huge! We work both in Europe and in the field in Asia to promote, inform, raise awareness, transmit, study and protect this fascinating animal.
