9411257本美洲方案奖将支持由美国科学促进会组织的一次研讨会，以评估实施1993年《联合国生物多样性公约》的优先事项。该讲习班将是与西半球各国合作执行《公约》项目的第一阶段，将使西半球生物多样性领域的主要成员与该地区的其他科学领袖汇聚一堂。会议将于1994年6月在巴西马瑙斯举行。《生物多样性公约》对签署国提出了许多要求，要求它们制定与经济和社会发展有关的综合养护战略。讲习班将需要编写完整的状况报告，反映各国基础设施、教育和培训的准备情况，以及执行国家生物多样性保护战略的资金来源。讲习班的预期成果是促进该区域的生物多样性合作研究。***

9411257 Stann This Americas Program award will support a workshop, organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), to assess priorities for implementing the 1993 United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. The workshop will be the first phase of a project to work cooperatively with the nations of the hemisphere in implementing the Convention, and will bring together leading members of the biodiversity community of the Western Hemisphere with other science leaders of the region. The meeting will take place in Manaus, Brazil, in June 1994. The Convention on Biological Diversity has placed numerous requirements on signatory nations to develop comprehensive strategies for conservation related to economic and social development. The workshop will entail the preparation of complete status reports reflecting the readiness of the countries' infrastructure, education and training, and funding resources to carry out national biodiversity conservation strategies. An expected outcome of the workshop is the promotion of biodiversity collaborative research in the region. ***
