This is putting freshwater ecosystems and the species within them at risk, along with the livelihoods and economies of local communities which they support. In a recent study for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species(tm) carried out by IUCN and Zoo Outreach Organisation (ZOO), scientists found that 31.3% of the 1,073 freshwater species of fishes, molluscs, dragonflies and damselflies currently known in the Eastern Himalaya region are assessed as Data Deficient, emphasizing the need for extensive new research. "Due to the rapid development of the region, it is essential that politicians, legislators and other stakeholders have access to information on the status of freshwater species and habitats so that they can incorporate this into their decision-making and planning processes," says David Allen, Programme Officer, IUCN Species Programme. "Though legislation to protect species and habitats exists across the region, implementation and enforcement is often not effective." Of those species for which information is available, 7.2% are classed as threatened and a further 5.4% are considered to be Near Threatened. The lower parts of the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers have been heavily impacted by pollution, the clearing and degradation of forests (leading to sedimentation and changes in flow regimes) and the development of dams. The impacts upon some species are significant, for example populations of the fish Putitor Mahseer, Tor putitora, found in the Ganga and other river basins, have declined across its range, and are predicted to further decline by up to 80% within the next 100 years. There are extensive plans for water resource and transport infrastructure development within the region which are likely to impact upon ecosystems and species. For example, the Highfin Glassy Perchlet, Parambassis lala, which can be found in the Ayeyarwaddy in Myanmar and adjacent rivers in northeastern India, is currently classified as Near Threatened as a result of habitat loss and over-exploitation. However, a continued lack of information which could guide conservation planning and the planning of proposed developments places the Highfin Glassy Perchlet along with many other species at risk of becoming threatened. "The importance of freshwater species and habitats is often largely under-estimated in the region, by local people as well as by decision makers, and they are often over-exploited for immediate needs," says Dr. Sanjay Molur, Executive Director, Zoo Outreach Organisation. "Communities with a stake in the long-term future of freshwater species and habitats across the region must be fully engaged in the development and conservation planning processes to ensure the future sustainability of their livelihoods and the services provided by the natural environment." The study highlights that, in order to significantly increase the level of information that is available to inform conservation planning, there is an urgent need for additional training in taxonomy and research methods for regional experts and increased funding to carry out species assessments. Several areas were identified as priorities for conservation action within the Eastern Himalaya. These areas include parts of eastern Nepal, India (including Sikkim, Assam and Manipur), and Myanmar. Recommended conservation actions for these and other areas include improving water quality in the region though controlling and reducing the discharge of untreated sewage, industrial pollutants, and agrochemicals; reviewing the impact of existing dams and barrages on the environment; reducing the rate of forest degradation and increasing forest restoration projects; enforcing legislation to halt the over-exploitation and destructive harvesting of fish (including the use of small mesh-size nets, dynamiting, poisoning and electric fishing); and monitoring and regulating the large-scale collection of molluscs. The on-going community-based sustainable management project in the Tanguar hoar wetlands is a great example of conservation success. Wetland resources were threatened by over-exploitation. IUCN Bangladesh has worked since 2002 to establish an innovative co-management system that allows the sustainable use of natural resources. The initiative has increased the capacity of local communities to effectively manage the wetland, and created alternative income generation options to reduce dependency on natural resources.

Many federal agencies and NGO's rely on GIS and satellite data for their work and are starting to produce their own spatial databases. However, there are few training opportunities for wildlife managers to learn the application of GIS in everyday management situations. We are offering a course for wildlife managers that will provide hands-on experience for the collection of data, GIS analysis of the data, and map-making using the latest ESRI (ArcGIS) and ERDAS software. This one-week course will provide conservation professionals with a working knowledge of the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing to the monitoring and management of wildlife and forest vegetation. Exercises in establishing locations with a Global Positioning System (GPS), data input into a GIS, and spatial analysis techniques for GIS will provide hands-on and real world experience during the course. Based on examples about habitat selection in songbirds and white-tailed deer, course participants will learn how to: * Collect GIS data in the field using survey techniques and GPS * Differentially correct GPS data * Input GPS data into GIS * Input field data into GIS * Use GIS for management of large data sets from multiple sources * Design and perform analysis using GIS data and spatial analysis techniques * Integrate data with ancillary data, such as satellite imagery, aerial photography, and State Agency databases Visit the following web address for more details and registration information: http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ConservationAndScience/ConservationGIS/GIS_training/introduction/ To contact us directly: GIS Course Coordinator giscourse at si.edu 1500 Remount Road Front Royal, VA 22630 540-635-6535 (GIS Lab) 540-635-6506 (FAX) **Note: An Advanced Course is offered during the following week, May 23-27** For more information on any of our other courses please see: http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ConservationAndScience/ConservationGIS/GIS_training/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Due to the temporary closing of the Christchurch Convention Center, we have moved our meeting venue for the 25th International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB 2011) to the Sky City Auckland Convention Centre with new dates: 5 - 9 December 2011. Auckland is New Zealand?s largest city and is located at the top of the North Island. It is the major entry point into New Zealand and is well serviced by international and national flights. The Sky City Auckland Convention Centre is located in the city centre and is within easy walking distance of a wide range of lodging and restaurants. It also makes the ideal starting point for pre- and post-conference trips and holidays. New Zealand is a country with vast open spaces, stunning rugged landscapes, pristine beaches, and a fascinating variety of animal and plant life. A temperate climate and varied ecosystems make New Zealand an ideal location to see conservation science in action. Damage from the earthquake is restricted to the city of Christchurch, and even within the city the damage has been local. The rest of the country is undamaged and as much a delight to explore as always. The Local Organizing Committee has gone above and beyond the call of duty to secure a new venue. They are undaunted in their enthusiasm and commitment to hosting ICCB 2011 in Auckland this December. The Committee looks forward to welcoming you to New Zealand! Please visit our website for the most current information on the meeting ( www.conbio.org/2011). We will be updating it regularly over the next few weeks to bring you the latest information on the venue, accommodations, conference trips, social events, and more. *Sponsor a Student: *Many SCB student members in Christchurch suffered financial loss and some are homeless as a result of the earthquake. If you or your institution would like to help sponsor a student?s attendance at ICCB 2011 in Auckland please contact 2011sponsors at conbio.org for more information. *Our thoughts are with our Christchurch colleagues who are already engaged in rebuilding Christchurch and who continue to dedicate themselves to preserving biodiversity in New Zealand and around the world.* ------------------------------ CALL FOR ORAL, SPEED AND POSTER PRESENTATIONS SCB is now accepting *abstracts for* *oral, poster, and speed presentations*for the 25th International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB 2011), *Engaging Society in Conservation* which will be held 5 ? 9 December 2011. Please visit: http://www.conbio.org/Activities/Meetings/2011/register/abstracts.cfm *Abstracts must be submitted electronically by 30 April 2011.* ------------------------------ MEETING THEME *Engaging Society in Conservation (Te Whenua, Te Moana, Te Papa Atawhai Whakamaua ki Tina)* Biodiversity around the world continues to decline at an ever-increasing pace, yet much of society carries on with business as usual. How can conservation professionals engage with society to achieve positive outcomes for conservation without compromising our scientific rigor or integrity? New Zealand provides the perfect location to see first-hand the challenges facing conservation biology as we attempt to deal with habitat loss, changing farming practices, over-fishing, extinction, and a human population losing contact with the natural world. New Zealand offers examples of grass-roots conservation that have turned degraded land back into forest, of government agencies that have saved species on the brink of extinction, and of businesses that have actively engaged in biodiversity conservation. But it is also a place where primary production and industries dominate the economy, and their interactions with biodiversity continue to threaten conservation success. Engagement with farmers, foresters, fishers and business, as well as with local communities, NGOs and government agencies, is essential for successful biodiversity conservation. We hope you will join us in Auckland for the 25th International Congress of the Society for Conservation Biology, as we explore both the science of conservation, and how we can engage all aspects of society in conservation.

Proposals are due MAY 1, 2011. The Notice for Funding Availability (NOFA) is available at the following link: http://www.fws.gov/international/dic/pdf/nofa_ceacf11.pdf Additional guidance and specific links for the various forms and requirements are listed below my signature. Species eligible for funding are those that face a very high risk of extinction in the immediate future. Species should meet the criteria to be listed as "Critically Endangered" or "Endangered" on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Species listed as "Data Deficient" on the IUCN Red List are also eligible if the applicant can provide information that suggests a similar urgency for conservation action. Species listed as "Extinct in Wild" are eligible if the applicant is proposing a reintroduction attempt. Proposed project work should occur within the species range, or, if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show a clear relevance to its conservation. The fund prioritizes conservation actions and field activities, not research. The following species are NOT eligible for funding: * Species that do not meet the criteria to be listed on the IUCN Red List as, "Critically Endangered" or "Endangered;" * Species with natural habitat range located primarily within the United States, Canada, Europe, or Australia; * Species that are eligible for funding under one of the Multinational Species Conservation Fund programs, including: Asian elephant, African elephant, rhinoceros (all species), tiger (all sub-species), gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo, orangutan, gibbons (all species) and marine turtles (all species); and * Amphibian species. Amphibians are eligible for funding through the Wildlife Without Borders - Amphibians in Decline program, including frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians.

We are teaming with Foundations of Success (FOS, www.fosonline.org) to offer this intensive course in adaptive management, based on the Conservation Measures Partnership's Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation. You will gain new skills for designing, planning and implementing effective projects and for how to provide clear evidence of progress towards conservation results. With the help of expert coaches, your "team" uses a real conservation project to practice conceptualizing your project, formulating objectives, and demonstrating measurable impact. You also learn how to use Miradi adaptive management software, which has been adopted by major conservation organizations (e.g., TNC, WWF, WCS) and is currently being used by over 1000 nature conservation practitioners in more than 147 countries. Participants gain new skills in designing, planning and implementing effective projects, and in how to provide clear evidence of measurable conservation impact. The course fee is $2,500, which includes instruction and most course materials as well as all meals, lodging, and transport to/from Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD). All other travel costs and incidental expenses are the participant's responsibility. Course participants earn Continuing Education Units, or, for qualified applicants, graduate course credits are available through George Mason University at additional cost (and upon completion of further course requirements). Smithsonian-Mason Global Conservation Studies Program course participants engage in dynamic learning communities, build lifelong professional networks, and connect with valuable conservation resources.

MAY 12th >> Future long-term planning on U.S. national forests is now being revised by USDA policy-makers. New rules have been proposed that will govern the planning process for all national forests for decades. We need signatures from scientists (preferably with graduate school credentials) to help to ensure these rules are based on sound science. National forests are critical for biological diversity, clean water, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. In order to protect these and other important values, science-based planning rules are needed. PLEASE JOIN SCIENTISTS NATIONWIDE BY SIGNING a multi-signature letter urging the Obama administration to enact planning rules that will protect national forests now and in the future. The letter can be seen at www.geosinstitute.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=857 We are now in an official USDA Forest Service comment period on the newly proposed rules, and it is crucial that scientists give input. The Obama administration cares about hearing from scientists, so signing this letter can make a real difference. Thank you for reading this, and apologies for cross-postings. Also, please help by sharing this with your colleagues who may be interested! *DEADLINE*. Please sign by *May 12, 2011. *All comments must be submitted to the USDA by May 16, 2011. *SIGN-ON PROCESS*.

The incumbent will develop geographic and statistical models that relate estuarine responses (especially the presence and abundance of submerged aquatic vegetation) to the watershed and estuarine characteristics of Chesapeake Bay subestuaries. The resulting models will be used to identify spatial correlates of estuarine responses, quantify predictor-response relationships, and help guide management decisions. The incumbent will be an active participant in project planning, data analysis, and scientific publications and must be able to work as part of an extended research team. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in ecology or geography, peer-reviewed publications, and professional presentations. Applicants also need experience with geographic information system (GIS) analysis and multivariate statistical analysis and should have a strong background in landscap! e ecology, ecosystem ecology, or estuarine ecology. Available modeling tools will include ArcGIS, R and SAS statistical software, and other packages. The position is funded for at least three years as part of a multi-institution, multi-investigator project supported by a research grant from NOAA (see http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/20091030_chesapeake.html). Salary $42,200-$51,600 (depending on qualifications) plus benefits. For best consideration, send letter of application, resume, graduate and undergraduate transcripts (photocopies are fine), and names of three references (with telephone numbers and e-mail addresses) by June 13, 2011 to Dr. Donald Weller (wellerd at si.edu), SERC, P.O.

With approximately 600 articles in 4 volumes, Biomes and Ecosystems: An Encyclopedia is a comprehensive review of key biological and geographic classifications tied to the high-school and college curriculum. The reference work will cover the broad scope of biomes and ecosystems around the world, from puddles on the street to coral reefs in Australia to rain forests in Brazil to the tundra in Siberia. Each article will delve into the properties that make the subject a biome or ecosystem, and how those features work together. Especially targeted toward high-school students, this outstanding reference work is edited to make the content readily accessible as well to patrons of public, academic, and university libraries. Pedagogical elements include a Topic Finder, Chronology, Resource Guide, Glossary, Appendix, and thorough index. Presented in an A-to-Z format, Biomes and Ecosystems: An Encyclopedia is richly illustrated with photos, charts, and tables, all comprising an unprecedented and unique resource produced by Golson Media for Salem Press. We are now making new article assignments with a deadline of December 19, 2011. Each article ranges from 600 to 3500 words and is signed by the contributor. The General Editor for the encyclopedia is Dr. Robert Warren Howarth, Cornell University, who will review all the articles for editorial content and academic consistency. If you are interested in contributing to Biomes and Ecosystems: An Encyclopedia, it can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing credits. Moreover, you can help ensure that accurate information and important points of view are credibly presented to students and library patrons. Compensation is an honorarium payment of $25 up to 1000 words; $35 from 1001 to 2500 words; and $45 above 2501 words. The list of available articles, style guidelines, and sample article are prepared and will be sent to you in response to your inquiry.

Building upon existing research in several fields, Shifting Course identifies a set of common principles for climate-adaptive institutions. Case studies from Nepal, Brazil, Tanzania, the United States, and Australia are used to explore these principles and to highlight different institutional responses to climate change and related challenges. The report forms the basis for a longer-term process through which WWF-US plans to develop a diagnostic tool and practical guidance that help water management institutions to become more adaptive to climate change. We are launching this next phase of work soon, and wouldwelcome your interest in collaboration. For more information, and to download the report and case studies, please visit www.adaptiveinstitutions.org.

Post-doctoral scholars are sought to join a consortium of academic and NGO partners analyzing future distributions of threats to river ecosystems worldwide, and assessing impacts on ecosystem services, human well-being, and biodiversity. Funded by a grant from NSF, we will build on a recent assessment of global threats to water security for humans and aquatic biodiversity (Nature 467: 555-561). The project will apply a scenario approach over a century timeframe (2000-2100) to assess spatial patterns of threats, biodiversity, and global trade. We seek candidates who are creative thinkers, and share our commitment to advancing interdisciplinary efforts to conserve the world?s freshwater resources. Post-docs will have leadership roles in the coordination, execution, and publication of the research. Ability to work with a diverse team of students, post-docs, and senior scientists is essential, and travel to workshops/meetings is required. Applicants must have a recent PhD and strong publication record. Please apply by emailing the appropriate collaborating institution below, with subject line: "Post-doctoral Position--Global Change and Rivers".
