The NGO dedicated to the binturong

Our missions

Arctictis Binturong Conservation is the only association in the world entirely dedicated to the study and protection of the binturong, a small mammal from South-East Asia. Little known and studied by scientists, everything remains to be done and the challenge is huge! We are working both in Europe and on the ground in Asia to promote, inform, raise awareness, transmit, study and protect the binturong.
