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

9400779为了帮助确定世界各地两栖动物数量减少的性质和程度，并推广能够阻止或扭转两栖动物数量减少的手段，拟举办一次讲习班，向常驻生物学家提供专门知识，以评估东南亚热带地区的两栖动物种群，同时大片森林仍然完好无损。研讨会的目标是：(1)促进由常驻生物学家制定一项关于测量和监测东南亚两栖动物种群的计划。(2)使常驻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)促进地区和美国生物学家之间的交流，以促进该地区研究方法的长期合作和协调。(4)将东南亚的生物学家与两栖动物种群下降问题工作队组织的全球网络结合起来。

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.
