Planned Activities and Events

Moderated e-discussions
It is proposed to organize moderated e-discussions on selected topics of conservation significance involving wildlife researchers, students, academics, managers and decision-makers. These will help to synthesize the state-of-the-art knowledge and experience and to determine the current status of wild species population distribution and abundance.
Knowledge Portal
It is proposed to develop an e-knowledge portal to facilitate the dissemination of researched information and recommendations emanating from wildlife research projects that could be used for informed decision-making and for implementing good management practices.

Workshop on "Managing Wildlife in Forested Ecosystems: Challenges and Opportunities"
It is proposed to organize a workshop in late 2007/ early 2008 in Europe, preferably in Austria on ‘Managing Wildlife in Forested Ecosystems: Challenges and Opportunities’. The objective is to share global experience and to bring out the state-of-the-art in form of a publication.

Liaise with CBD Programme of Work on "Protected Areas" and "Forest Biological Diversity"
