这项提案寻求资金用于在国际会议上评估以龟(海龟)为模式系统的基于分类群的保护、恢复和管理计划的效率。研讨会将研究保护问题并制定补救策略。会议结束后，将成立一个工作队，监督这些战略的实地测试。会议上讨论的方针、方法和解决方案将对广泛的生物体具有重要的应用价值。会议的与会者将包括生态学家、自然资源保护者、规划者和政府代表。会议纪要将予以公布。%这次会议是一个重要的、及时的、有创意的和具有成本效益的论坛，讨论和传播有关保护、恢复和管理龟物种的信息。会议的结果也将对保护生物学产生总体上的重要影响。

This proposal seeks funds for partial support of on international conference to assess the efficiency of taxon-based conservation, restoration, and management programs using chelonians (turtles and tortoises) as model systems. The workshop will examine conservation problems and develop remedial strategies. A task force will be established to oversee the field testing of these strategies after the conference. The approaches, methodologies and solutions discussed at the conference will have important applications pertaining to a wide range of organisms. The conference will contain a blend of participants including ecologists, conservationists, planners, and governmental representatives. The proceedings of the conference will be published. %%% This conference is an important, timely, creative, and cost-effective forum for the discussion and dissemination of information regarding the conservation, restoration, and management of chelonian species. The results of the conference will also yield important implications for conservation biology, in general.
