Southeast Asia Campaign 2012Southeast Asia is home to the most beautiful, graceful and evocative animals on the planet.
But they need our help.
The leading zoos and aquariums of Europe, through the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), and the Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) raise funds and awareness for the conservation of the biodiversity of Southeast Asia. The IUCN/SSC has identified that big animals, those over 1kg, in Southeast Asia are declining most rapidly and that without immediate action could disappear forever.
The EAZA-IUCN SSC Southeast Asia campaign aims to raise €750,000 towards projects conserving this amazing diversity of life on our planet.
Big animals, small world… join with us and help save the jewels of Southeast Asia today! » Web Site

Workshop - Il Valore Della BiodiversitàIl Museo regionale di Scienze naturali della Valle d'Aosta è responsabile della creazione dell'Osservatorio regionale della biodiversità all'interno di un più ampio progetto cofinanziato dall’Unione europea, dallo Stato e dalla Regione autonoma Valle d'Aosta nell'ambito del Programma operativo FESR Competitività regionale 2007/2013, volto a promuovere la valorizzazione e la fruizione turistica consapevole dei siti di particolare pregio naturalistico.
All’interno del progetto, l'Osservatorio ha lo scopo di favorire la raccolta delle informazioni tramite la creazione e l’implementazione di un sistema di banche dati naturalistiche a supporto della gestione delle aree regionali ad alta valenza naturalistica, ma anche a disposizione dell’utenza che voglia documentarsi su tale patrimonio.
In questo contesto è stato organizzato un workshop per il 22 maggio 2012, giornata internazionale della biodiversità, al fine di presentare l'Osservatorio regionale della biodiversità della Valle d’Aosta, di confrontarsi con le altre realtà italiane della rete nazionale degli Osservatori della biodiversità e riflettere sugli aspetti legati alla biodiversità.
L’evento è dedicato non ai soli esperti del settore, ma anche ad un pubblico più ampio per meditare sui valori e i beni che la biodiversità garantisce e su come, attraverso i comportamenti quotidiani, si possa contribuire al mantenimento ed alla conservazione della biodiversità e dei suoi servizi.
La partecipazione è gratuita, ma è necessario iscriversi compilando la scheda di registrazione allegata ed inviandola all’indirizzo: info@museoscienze.it .

Otters and Fisheries ConferenceOrganized by the International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF)
IOSF is planning to establish a Working Group with otter scientists and representatives of the fishery community, including fisheries trusts, fish farmers, koi carp keepers and anglers. The aim is that this Group can work together to provide accurate information on otters and their impact on fisheries and also to provide practical advice and solutions to problems.
To bring this Group together IOSF will be holding a one day conference in Edinburgh with delegates from all interested parties and those with experience in otter mitigation at fisheries from the UK and Europe. At the end of the conference, representatives will be invited on to the Working Group and recommendations will be drawn up for further work to be carried out by the Group based on co-operation between otter scientists and fisheries. Proceedings will be produced for distribution to delegates but they will also be made available through the IOSF website for the wider public and through various fishery websites.
