Regional Workshop on Monitoring Amphibian Populations in Southeast Asia, Sabah, Malaysia, September, 1994

[9400779]为了帮助确定全世界两栖动物数量下降的性质和程度，并促进阻止或扭转下降的方法，建议举办一个讲习班，为常驻生物学家提供专业知识，以评估东南亚热带地区的两栖动物数量，同时相当一部分森林仍然完好无损。研讨会的目标是：(1)促进当地生物学家对东南亚两栖动物种群的测量和监测计划的发展。(2)使驻地生物学家熟悉评估和监测两栖动物种群的方法和数据要求。(3)促进本地区和美国生物学家之间的交流，以促进本地区研究方法的长期合作和通信。(4)将东南亚的生物学家与两栖动物种群减少特别工作组组织的全球网络整合起来。

9400779 Inger To help determine the nature and extent of amphibian declines throughout the world and to promote means by which declines can be halted or reversed, a workshop is proposed to provide resident biologists with the expertise to assess amphibian populations in tropical South East Asia while sizable portions of forests still remain intact. The objectives of the workshop are: (1) Stimulate development of a program on measuring and monitoring amphibian populations in Southeast Asia by resident biologists. (2) Acquaint resident biologists with the methods and data requirements for assessing and monitoring populations of amphibians. (3) Promote communication among region and American biologists so as to promote long cooperation and correspondence of methods used in studies across the region. (4) Integrate biologists in Southeast Asia with the global network organized by the Task Force on Declining Amphibian Populations.
