Conservation of Forest Aquatic Ecosystems in Rwanda (U.S.-Rwanda Cooperative Research: Science in Developing Countries).

技术说明：这个涉及明尼苏达大学和卢旺达国立大学的美国-卢旺达合作研究规划项目正在水产资源涵养总面积。提案资金将使明尼苏达大学的团队能够与卢旺达同行合作三周，制定一项研究提案，研究卢旺达高海拔森林中的河流生态系统。这项研究的拟议成果之一将是为保护热带雨林生物群制定一项资源管理议定书。这一资源保护项目通过使美国和卢旺达的顶尖专家能够将互补的人才结合在一起，并在彼此感兴趣和有能力的领域汇集研究资源，实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。

Technical Narrative: This U.S.-Rwanda collaborative research planning project involving the University of Minnesota and the Universite Nationale de Rwanda is in the general area of aquatic resource conservation. Proposal funding will allow the team from the University of Minnesota to work with their Rwandan counterparts for a three week period to develop a research proposal to study stream ecosystems in high altitude forests of Rwanda. One of the proposed outcomes of this research will be the establishment of a resource management protocol for the conservation of tropical rainforest biomes. This project in resource conservation fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Rwanda to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
