The binturong conservation in his natural environment

Scientific part: improving the knowledge on the bearcat with radiotracking

Planckendael participates in the European Breeding Programme (EEP).

The binturong, or bearcat (Arctictis binturong) inhabits a range stretching from northeast India and Bangladesh to the Malay Peninsula, Borneo and the Philippines.

The Asian bearcat is nocturnal and sleeps on branches.

So, our president had the opportunity to experiment a presentation on the binturong without any visible binturong to the visitors… It seemed to be a successful experience because the visitors didn’t flee.

The ears, also known as the Binturong or Bearcat Asian.

Giordano pointed to several areas of study urgently required for binturong conservation: targeted studies with large populations are needed to better understand binturong ecology, he said.

The Arctictis binturong is a species relatively unknown from the general public.

A binturong has long white whiskers, like those of a cat.

Our activities make many visitors happy, especially the binturong game where the winner gets an ABConservation badge and is entrusted with the role of binturong ambassador.

According to the IUCN, the binturong conservation status is VULNERABLE.

You can meet our porcupine, sloth, serval, binturong, snakes, tortoises, or parrots.
