Protected areas are the single most important conservation tool. The global protected-area network has grown substantially in recent decades, now occupying 11.5% of Earth's land surface, but such growth has not been strategically aimed at maximizing the coverage of global biodiversity. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the global network is far from complete, even for the representation of terrestrial vertebrate species. Here we present a first attempt to provide a global framework for the next step of strategically expanding the network to cover mammals, amphibians, freshwater turtles and tortoises, and globally threatened birds. We identify unprotected areas of the world that have remarkably high conservation value (irreplaceability) and are under serious threat. These areas concentrate overwhelmingly in tropical and subtropical moist forests, particularly on tropical mountains and islands. The expansion of the global protected-area network in these regions is urgently needed to prevent the loss of unique biodiversity. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Coverage Provided by the Global Protected-Area System: Is It Enough?

Protected-area targets of 10% of a biome, of a country, or of the planet have often been used in conservation planning. The new World Database on Protected Areas shows that terrestrial protected-area coverage now approaches 12% worldwide. Does this mean that the establishment of new protected areas can cease? This was the core question of the "Building Comprehensive Protected Area Systems" stream of the Fifth World Parks Congress in Durban, South Africa, in 2003. To answer it requires global gap analysis, the subject of the special section of BioScience for which this article serves as an introduction. We also provide an overview of the extraordinary data sets now available to allow global gap analysis and, based on these, an assessment of the degree to which existing protected-area systems represent biodiversity. Coverage varies geographically, but is less than 2% for some bioregions, and more than 12% of 11,633 bird, mammal, amphibian, and turtle species are wholly unrepresented. The global protected-area systems are far from complete. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Key Biodiversity Areas as Site Conservation Targets

Site conservation is among the most effective means to reduce global biodiversity loss. Therefore, it is critical to identify those sites where unique biodiversity must be conserved immediately. To this end, the concept of key biodiversity areas (KBAs) has been developed, seeking to identify and, ultimately, ensure that networks of globally important sites are safeguarded. This methodology builds up from the identification of species conservation targets (through the IUCN Red List) and nests within larger-scale conservation approaches. Sites are selected using standardized, globally applicable, threshold-based criteria, driven by the distribution and population of species that require site-level conservation. The criteria address the two key issues for setting site conservation priorities: vulnerability and irreplaceability. We also propose quantitative thresholds for the identification of KBAs meeting each criterion, based on a review of existing approaches and ecological theory to date. However, these thresholds require extensive testing, especially in aquatic systems. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

AB: Abstract
As well as being one of the most densely populated areas on Earth,
Hong Kong also has the highest percentage of protected areas (38% of
the 1098 km super(2) land area) of any administrative region in the
Asia Pacific. Overlay of field records from a biodiversity survey of
eight taxa (amphibians, reptiles, mammals, breeding birds, ants,
butterflies, dragonflies and rare vascular plants) in 1 km grid
squares with protected areas indicated that over half of the 623
species of conservation concern (globally, regionally, or locally
restricted species) were under-represented. Ants, butterflies and
reptiles were most poorly represented. The hotspots of different taxa
also received differing levels of protection. Hong Kong's protected
areas are biased towards high-altitude habitats, so the
under-represented species are mostly associated with the lowland
habitats (freshwater wetlands, abandoned agriculture and feng shui
woods). Since the restricted species are scattered and the hotspots of
different taxa do not overlap, a large protected area network will be
required to represent all species. This indicates the challenge that
will be encountered in the conservation of many other parts of Asia
that support burgeoning human populations, and where landscapes are
increasingly human-dominated.

AB: Abstract
The Fifth World Parks Congress in Durban, South Africa, announced in
September 2003 that the global network of protected areas now covers
11.5% of the planet's land surface. This surpasses the 10% target
proposed a decade earlier, at the Caracas Congress, for 9 out of 14
major terrestrial biomes. Such uniform targets based on percentage of
area have become deeply embedded into national and international
conservation planning. Although politically expedient, the scientific
basis and conservation value of these targets have been questioned. In
practice, however, little is known of how to set appropriate targets,
or of the extent to which the current global protected area network
fulfils its goal of protecting biodiversity. Here, we combine five
global data sets on the distribution of species and protected areas to
provide the first global gap analysis assessing the effectiveness of
protected areas in representing species diversity. We show that the
global network is far from complete, and demonstrate the inadequacy of
uniform: that is, 'one size fits all': conservation targets.

AB: Abstract
Protecting systematically selected areas of land is a major step
towards biodiversity conservation worldwide. Indeed, the
identification and designation of protected areas more often than not
forms a core component of both national and international conservation
policies. In this paper an overview is provided of those Special
Protection Areas and Ramsar Sites that have been classified in Great
Britain as of 1998/99 for a selection of wintering waterbird species,
using bird count data from the Wetland Bird Survey. The performance of
this network of sites is remarkable, particularly in comparison with
published analyses of networks elsewhere in the world. Nevertheless,
the current site-based approach, whilst having the great benefit of
simplicity, is deliberately biased towards aggregating species at the
expense of the more dispersed distribution species. To ensure that the
network continues successfully to protect nationally and
internationally important waterbird populations, efforts now need to
concentrate on the derivation of species-specific representation
targets and, in particular, the ways in which these can be
incorporated into the site selection process. Although these analyses
concern the performance of protected areas for waterbirds in Great
Britain, the results have wide-ranging importance for conservation
planning in general and the design of protected area networks

AB: Abstract
The Tram Chim Protected Area was recently recognized by the Vietnamese
government as a national park for the conservation of typical wetland
ecosystems in the Dong Thap Muoi area of the Mekong Delta. However,
the protection of this national park has been a challenging task.
Population in the area has rapidly increased in recent years, a result
of the State policies encouraging land reclamation and natural
resources exploitation in this area. Many of the local people are poor
farmers whose livelihoods are based on rice cultivation and natural
resource gathering. The establishment of the national park has allowed
vegetation restoration in Tram Chim, and rich and diversified wetland
ecosystems have gradually been rehabilitated. In the period 1994-1996,
infrastructure for the protected area was improved and since then
violations of the protected regulations have been reduced. The
National Park Development Plan focuses on biodiversity conservation,
eco-tourism development and local farmers' livelihood improvement. To
cope with management difficulties in Tram Chim, the report proposes
more investment from the Central Government as well as international
organizations.

AB: Abstract
Parry Sound contains the only successfully rehabilitated population of
lake trout Salvelinus namaycush in the four lower Great Lakes. This
population fell to extremely low levels in the 1960s, probably due to
parasitism by sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus. Since 1988, the relative
abundance of wild spawning lake trout has increased in Parry Sound as
a result of a series of key management actions. These actions included
stocking yearling lake trout derived from the remnant stock (beginning
in 1981) and stringent angler exploitation controls, including the
creation of a 1,061-ha refuge in 1987. The boundaries of this
protected area were established to reduce angling mortality of wild
lake trout. Biotelemetry studies conducted in 1989 and 1990 led to the
protected area being increased to 1,908 ha in 1990. Although the
specific role that the refuge played in rehabilitating Parry Sound
lake trout is difficult to assess, prior to establishing the refuge,
harvest levels of wild lake trout exceeded sustainable levels and
there was limited evidence of natural reproduction. From 1994 to 2001,
tagging studies conducted in the refuge area showed 84% of recaptured
lake trout were originally tagged within the refuge, indicating high
fidelity to refuge spawning shoals between years. Differences in
seasonal movements into Georgian Bay and thiamine levels (likely
related to diet) between fish that spawn in the refuge area versus
non-refuge fish further support the effectiveness of the refuge in
protecting a relatively isolated portion of the population. The
refuge-protected wild fish may have played a vital role in attracting
stocked fish to suitable spawning areas. By 1997, the Parry Sound lake
trout population was deemed successfully rehabilitated, and stocking
was discontinued. Our data indicates that the lake trout refuge
protected a significant portion of the remnant lake trout population
by reducing angler-induced mortality rates and assisted in the
successful rehabilitation of the population.

AB: Abstract
Surveys of the amphibians and reptiles on Nosy Be (an island off
north-west Madagascar) and nearby islands were undertaken between 1991
and 2001 and are discussed here in view of biodiversity considerations
and conservation efforts. Since Nosy Be is the type locality of
several amphibian and reptile taxa, their exact status is of crucial
importance for the nomenclatural stability of many groups of the
Madagascan herpetofauna. A total of 20 amphibian and 61 reptile
species (excluding marine reptiles) was confirmed for this
archipelago. Other species (Mantidactylus horridus, Androngo
elongatus, Typhlops madagascariensis, T. reuteri, Micropisthodon
ochraceus and Pararhadinea melanogaster) were not found during these
inventories, but are quoted in the literature or housed in
herpetological collections, and are considered as likely to be present
at Nosy Be. A further 18 taxa are tentatively excluded from its fauna,
due to biogeographic incongruence and/or lack of reliable voucher
specimens. Few taxa are so far only known from the island; they may
represent endemics or may have been overlooked on the adjacent
mainland. They are respectively Stumpffia pygmaea, Mabuya lavarambo,
Lygodactylus h. heterurus, Lycodryas granuliceps and Typhlops reuteri.
Heterixalus tricolor too is likely to be present on Nosy Be only, but
the difference with respect to taxa present on the mainland needs to
be confirmed. Several species are known from nearby islands and islets
surveyed (11 amphibians and 26 reptiles). A few of them (Heterixalus
'variabilis', Kinixys belliana, Furcifer oustaleti, Mabuya comorensis,
Paracontias milloti) are present on some of these islands but have not
yet been found on Nosy Be. Much of the field research was conducted at
Lokobe, a strict nature reserve still characterized by good forest
coverage (typical of the Sambirano Domain), and an important area of
biodiversity. With 15 amphibian and 45 reptile species, Lokobe hosts
81% of the overall Nosy Be herpetofauna: of the species found during
our surveys, only Heterixalus tricolor, Hoplobatrachus tigerinus,
Gehyra mutilata, Phelsuma dubia and Crocodylus niloticus were only
found outside the reserve. In view of this, the protection of Lokobe
should be assured and reinforced. Except for Lokobe, habitats on Nosy
Be are largely anthropogenic, and have a lower species diversity,
especially where there is intensive agriculture. At other sites (e.g.
ylang-ylang and coffee plantations) and in forested bands along roads,
species diversity is still high: careful management of these
anthropogenic habitats might also assure the survivorship and
conservation of a diverse herpetofauna outside the protected area.

AB: Abstract
The paper presents the ornithofauna of the carp fish-ponds of
Koncanica (Croatia) and the surroundings. The research was conducted
between the spring of 1985 and the autumn of 2001. The material
comprises data on the registration and counting of individual species
throughout the year. The investigation covered resident birds, summer
visitors, winter visitors, passage migrants, regular vagrants and
irregular vagrants. During approximately 3000 working hours, 170 bird
species were recorded, of which there were 98 (57.6%) species of
breeding birds. The fish-ponds and the surrounding area are included
in the migration routes of many bird species, particularly of the
Anseriformes and Charadriformes. The European Threat Status is given
for all the recorded species. Economic activities (agriculture,
forestry, hunting), ongoing inside and outside the area of the
fish-ponds, endanger the ornithofauna to a certain extent. The
Koncanica fish-ponds and the surrounding area are an exceptionally
valuable ornithological locality, and as a result, should be
proclaimed a protected area.

AB: Abstract
The Reserve of Biosphere of Camargue [French National Nature Reserve
of Camargue (NNRC)] is a protected area frequently exposed to natural
and anthropogenic environmental alterations. To evaluate potential
contamination of fish with lipophilic chemicals--organochlorines (OCs)
and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)--a biological monitoring
survey was carried out. Metabolic reserve levels were evaluated to
select appropriate biological indicators able to be significant
biomarkers. In addition, the incorporation of xenobiotic molecules in
the lipid compartments was investigated. The contents of glycogen,
total lipids, proteins and lipidic phosphorus were analyzed in liver
and skeletal muscles of three teleostean: the European eel (Anguilla
anguilla); the crucian carp (Carassius auratus); and the catfish
(Ictalurus melas). The atmospheric origin of the PAH detected in any
season in the biomass and the OCs compounds contamination by derive
from agricultural treatments are established. In contradiction with
some laboratory acute intoxication studies, we observe a positive
correlation between tissue concentrations of contaminants and the
muscular glycogen amount, a sensitive energy reserve marker. Moreover,
it seems likely that the incorporation of these xenobiotics is located
preferentially in the membrane structures.

AB: Abstract
The future health and productivity of South Africa's approximately 250
estuaries is dependent on two main factors: management and freshwater
inputs. Both management and water allocation decisions involve
trade-offs between conservation and various types of utilisation. In
order to facilitate decision-making in both of these spheres, it is
necessary to understand the relative conservation importance of
different estuaries. This study devises a method for prioritising
South African estuaries on the basis of conservation importance, and
presents the results of a ranking based on the collation of existing
data for all South African estuaries. Estuaries are scored in terms of
their size, type and biogeographical zone, habitats and biota (plants,
invertebrates, fish and birds). Thirty-three estuaries are currently
under formal protection, but they are not representative of all
estuarine biodiversity. We performed a complementarity analysis,
incorporating data on abundance where available, to determine the
minimum set of estuaries that includes all known species of plants,
invertebrates, fishes and birds. In total, 32 estuaries were
identified as `required protected areas', including 10 which are
already protected. An estuary's importance status (including `required
protected area' status) will influence the choice of management class
and hence freshwater allocation under the country's new Water Act, and
can be used to assist the development of a new management strategy for
estuaries, which is currently underway.

AB: Abstract
The eastern portion of the Camargue in southern France is divided into
two parts: a natural wetland area of 2800 ha and an agricultural area
of 5045 ha. In 1984 and 1989, a new protected area (1000 ha) was
created on two contiguous former hunting estates. Analysis of aerial
photographs (1968-1998) in conjunction with a field survey revealed,
from 1984 to 1998, an increase of management for waterfowl hunting in
natural wetlands located on the periphery of the new reserve, and a
similar increase in the agricultural area amongst residual wetlands
and former rice fields. Based on monthly aerial censuses, the size of
the waterfowl population in the winter increased in this part of the
delta by a factor of 3.8 following the creation of the reserve. Our
results suggest that the creation of a reserve on former hunting
estates resulted in greater attractiveness for ducks but also in the
development of commercial hunting activity around the edge. This
development increased fragmentation and uniformity of natural areas,
including the loss of the unique Cladium mariscus habitat in the
Camargue and resulted in the spatial expansion of waterfowl hunting
areas in agricultural areas. It is associated with an increase in
financial profit from waterfowl hunting. Our study highlights
unexpected costs for nature conservation associated with the creation
of a reserve. It illustrates the need for new models of wetland
conservation where protection goals are not restricted to reserves,
but also integrate conservation and economic development outside the
protected areas.

AB: Abstract
Freshwater species and habitats are among the most threatened in the
world. One way in which this growing conservation concern can be
addressed is the creation of freshwater protected areas. Here, we
present three strategies for freshwater protected-area design and
management: whole-catchment management, natural-flow maintenance, and
exclusion of non-native species. These strategies are based on the
three primary threats to fresh waters: land-use disturbances, altered
hydrologies, and introduction of non-native species. Each strategy
draws from research in limnology and river and wetland ecology.
Ideally, freshwater protected areas should be located in intact
catchments, should have natural hydrological regimes, and should
contain no non-native species. Because optimal conservation conditions
are often difficult to attain, we also suggest alternative management
strategies, including multiple-use modules, use of the river continuum
concept, vegetated buffer strips, partial water discharges, and
eradication of exotic species. Under some circumstances it may be
possible to focus freshwater conservation efforts on two key zones:
adjacent terrestrial areas and headwaters.

AB: Abstract
Areas of critical importance to freshwater fish conservation in the
Cape Floral Kingdom (CFK) were identified in the Cape Action Plan for
the Environment (CAPE), a recently completed strategic biodiversity
conservation planning exercise for the CFK. The CFK is the richest
(species per unit area) and most threatened of the world's six plant
kingdoms. Indigenous freshwater fishes are a priority group for
conservation within the CFK because 16 of the 19 species (84%) are
endemic with 15 species (79%) listed as threatened. The majority of
species are not effectively conserved in CFK national parks and nature
reserves as either most of their distribution range is outside these
areas or indigenous fishes species share protected area habitat with
invasive alien fishes such as the predatory smallmouth blackbass
Micropterus dolomieu. A project to more effectively conserve rivers
and indigenous fishes was developed as part of the CAPE. This project
includes land acquisition, addressing the shortage of manpower and
funding at conservation authorities, eradicating invasive fishes and
plants from key areas and increasing funding for research and
monitoring.

AB: Abstract
In January and February 2000, about 20 wetland sites were visited to
count waterbirds and pay special attention to the presence of
Slender-billed Curlews Numenius tenuirostris, a Globally Threatened
species. At least 1,200 Eurasian Curlews N. arquata and 240 Whimbrels
N. phaeopus were checked individually, but no Slender-billed Curlews
were observed. More than 53,000 waterbirds of 82 species were counted
during the survey, including Globally Threatened Species like
Dalmatian Pelican Pelecanus crispus, Marbled Teal Marmaronetta
angustirostris, Ferrugineous Duck Aythya nyroca, White-tailed Eagle
Halaeetus albicilla, Greater Spotted Eagle Aquila clanga, and Imperial
Eagle Aquila heliaca. Only a small part of the wetlands along the
Iranian Gulf coast were counted and a total of over 240,000 waders
were estimated to winter in the surveyed wetlands. Our survey suggests
that the total Iranian Gulf coast is very important for waterbirds and
in particular for waders and Dalmatian Pelican. Apparently suitable
habitat for Slender-billed Curlews, including irrigated wheat fields,
extensive salt marshes and marshland close to intertidal mudflats, was
found in the Hilleh Protected Area (42,600 ha) and Monde Protected
Area (46,700 ha), as well as much of the surrounding area up to
Bushehr and Monde River Delta.

AB: Abstract
Surveys for shushuks Platanista gangetica were conducted during
January to April 1999 in Kaptai Lake and the southern rivers of
Bangladesh. A population of at least 125 dolphins was recorded in the
Karnaphuli and Sangu rivers and connecting canal. The overall
encounter rate was 0. 76 dolphins per km. Density was highest in the
lower reaches of the Sangu, where we recorded 1. 36 dolphins per km.
These rates are fairly high when compared with other areas of shushuk
distribution. Dolphin movements in the Sikalbaha-Chandkhali Canal were
consistent with it being used as a corridor for migration and
dispersal between the Karnaphuli and Sangu. Shushuks were also sighted
in marine waters of the Karnaphuli and Sangu river mouths, adding
credibility to the hypothesis that dolphins move along the coast
between the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna and Karnaphuli-Sangu systems,
perhaps during the monsoon when freshwater plumes extend into the Bay
of Bengal. No dolphins were observed in Kaptai Lake, a dam-created
reservoir of the upper Karnaphuli, despite reports of occasional
sightings by local fishermen. No shushuks were observed in the
Bagkhali and Matamuhuri rivers, possibly because of seasonal-closure
dams present near the mouths of both rivers. The main threats to
dolphin survival in the Karnaphuli-Sangu system are probably
accidental entanglement in monofilament gillnets, bioaccumulation of
persistent contaminants and possibly collisions with motorized vessels
and a decline in prey as a result of over fishing. The most
significant conservation measure that could be taken would be to
establish a protected area for dolphins in the Sangu River below the
Dohazari Bridge.

AB: Abstract
Freshwater systems in the Hohe Tauern National Park are hardly
impacted by human activities because of their location in a protected
area. Accordingly, they represent ecosystems of high value for the
description of natural and near-natural freshwater and the definition
of their reference conditions. As part of a project for the concept of
a transboundary freshwater monitoring system in the Hohe Tauern
Nationalpark, the objective of the freshwater inventory was to collect
all existing information about the condition of the freshwater types
(including running and standing waters) and a clear presentation and
analysis. In summary, 279 running and 136 standing individual waters
were included and described and defined according to their natural and
type-specific condition. Since in the present freshwater inventory all
available data and literature were considered, a comprehensive
overview about character and condition of Alpine freshwaters in the
Hohe Tauern National Park is provided.Original Abstract: Die Gewaesser

Schutzgebiet grossteils von anthropogenen Beeintraechtigungen
verschont geblieben und daher von grosser Bedeutung fuer die
Beschreibung von natuerlichen oder naturnahen Gewaessern und die
Definition von Referenzzustaenden alpiner Gewaesser. Als Bestandteil
eines Projektes fuer die Erstellung eines Konzeptes fuer ein
laenderuebergreifendes Gewaessermonitoring im Nationalpark Hohe Tauern
lag die Anforderung an ein Gewaesserinventar in der Zusammenstellung
wesentlicher Eigenschaften der Gewaessertypen (Fliess- und
Stillgewaesser) und deren uebersichtlicher Darstellung und Auswertung.
Insgesamt wurden 279 Fliess- und 136 Stillgewaesser erfasst. Diese
Gewaesser wurden nach naturraeumlichen und gewaesserspezifischen
Kriterien ausgewertet und diskutiert. Im Gewaesserinventar wurden auch
die derzeit vorliegenden Daten sowie die fachspezifische Literatur
beruecksichtigt, sodass damit ein umfassender Ueberblick ueber den
Charakter und die Beschaffenheit alpiner Gewaesser im Nationalpark
Hohe Tauern gegeben ist.

Barbus petenyii, Gymnocephalus schraetser) and species with their
area-center in Duna-basin (Gobio uranoscopus, Gobio kessleri, Zingel
zingel, Zingel streber) have particularly high natural value. It is
necessary to create a protected area extended over these three
countries for preserving the most valuable aquatic habitats.

AB: Abstract
The Farakka barrage has interrupted the movements of Ganges river
dolphins (Platanista gangetica) and migratory fishes in the Ganges
river near the middle of their range. Luxuriant growth of macrophytes
and excessive siltation in the reservoir behind the barrage have
resulted in the formation of a large mid-channel island. Intensive
fishing with non-selective gear has probably caused a decline in the
number of dolphins near the barrage and in the adjacent feeder canal,
which carries water from the Ganges to the Bhagirathi river. During
surveys conducted in post-monsoon, winter, summer, and monsoon seasons
of 1991 through to 1996, a maximum of 10 dolphins were observed in a
3.5km segment of river upstream and a maximum of five in a 3.5km
segment down stream of the barrage. The difference in ecological
conditions on both sides of the barrage was evidenced by a marked
difference in the catch composition of local fisheries. During surveys
of the feeder canal in 1995 and 1996, 14-21 dolphins were observed.
The feeder canal should be managed as a protected area for dolphins.
Research is needed on nutrient enrichment, siltation rates, and
methods to control macrophyte growth near the barrage. Fishing should
be prohibited downstream of the barrage during the monsoon and
post-monsoon seasons to protect the breeding and early-growth stages
of dolphin prey. Discharge of pollutants into the feeder canal shoud
be prohibited.

AB: Abstract
A study was undertaken in the Rasmussen Lowlands, Nunavut, in order to
assess the area's appropriateness for status as a National Wildlife
Area. Shorebird species richness and densities were compared to
results from published studies carried out elsewhere in the Arctic.
Thirty five bird species including 22 confirmed breeding species were
recorded. Of 12 shorebird species recorded, Red Phalaropes Phalaropus
fulicaria, Pectoral Sandpipers Calidris melanotos, and White-rumped
Sandpipers Calidris melanotos, and White-rumped Sandpipers Calidris
fuscicollis were most common. Other confirmed breeders were
Semipalmated Sandpipers Calidris pusilla, American Golden-Plovers
Pluvialis dominica, Dunlin Calidris alpina, Black-bellied Plovers
Pluvialis squatarola, Baird's Sandpipers Calidris bairdii, Stilt
Sandpipers Micropalama himantopus, and Semipalmated Plovers Charadrius
semipalmatus. Breeding was probable but not confirmed for
Buff-Breasted Sandpipers Tryngites subruficollis and not suspected for
Ruddy Turnstones Arenaria interpres. The study concludes by
recommending National Wildlife Area status for the Rasmussen Lowlands
on the basis of high shorebird species richness, its position in an
ecological transition zone, diverse and suitable bird habitat, and
nationally significant populations of five shorebird species, plus
Greater White-fronted Geese Anser albifrons, Tundra Swans Cygnus
columbianus, Peregrine Falcons, and likely king Eiders Somateria
spectablilis. Also recommended is a suitable boundary for a future
protected area.

AB: Abstract
France has always enjoyed a very rich ichthyological history, with
major changes in populations, especially in the last two hundred
years. As it stands, France's current freshwater fish communities is
the result of many past and present phenomena still taking place
within various time scales. Studying the changes from the late
Tertiary to the current period is essential if one is to conserve and
manage this ichthyofauna. For example, many problems, or even
conflicts, resulting from species introductions can take on a
different character when the specificity and the history of the
catchment area concerned are taken into account. This work
investigates therefore what contribution studies in biogeography,
palaeontology, archaeoichthyology, ecology and history can make
towards a better understanding of the evolution of fish communities in
France. It focuses first on Tertiary fossils and fish remains from the
Quaternary, setting those in a European and national context, followed
by a study on ancient and current distributions of the various
species, using specific tools. This work puts forward certain
reference communities for the main catchment areas in France, thus
defining a reference state and making it possible to compare the
current state of species distribution with this reference state, in
order to measure the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on
the changes in communities in the last 5000 years. Taking these
changes in distributions and populations into account, this work draws
up the list of threatened species and puts forward conservation
measures based on their ecology, while suggesting action plans for
each species; it also analyses the part played by the protected area
in the conservation of the ichthyofauna.

AB: Abstract
Watershed protection is one of the many goods and services provided by
the world's fast disappearing tropical forests. Among the variety of
watershed protection benefits, flood damage alleviation is crucial,
particularly in upland watersheds. This study is a rare attempt to
estimate flooding alleviation benefits, resulting from the protection
of upland forests in Eastern Madagascar. A three stage model is used
to examine the relationship between the economic concept of value and
the bio-physical dimensions of the protected area. This approach
combines techniques from remote sensing, soil and hydrologic sciences
and economics. In stage one, the relationship between changes in land
use practices and the extent of flooding in immediate downstream is
established by using remotely sensed and hydrologic-runoff data. Stage
two relates the impact of increased flooding to crop production by
comparing the hydrologic data with the agronomic flood damage reports
for the same time period. In stage three, a productivity analysis
approach is adopted to evaluate flood damage in terms of lost producer
surplus. The presence of the Mantadia National Park, in eastern
Madagascar, is designed to prevent land conversions and changes in
hydrologic patterns, thereby alleviating flood damage. This averted
flood damage is a measure of the watershed protection benefits to
society. Given that natural systems are subject to considerable
stochastic shocks, sensitivity analysis is used to examine the
uncertainty associated with the key random variables. The results of
this analysis should help policy makers assess trade-offs between the
costs and benefits of protecting tropical rainforest.

AB: Abstract
Effective management of two wetland areas of international importance
for conservation - Keoladeo National Park in India and the Ucchali
wetland complex in Pakistan - has been hampered by local opposition to
existing wetland management policies and the threat of worsening
conflict between villagers and conservation authorities. Participatory
Rural Appraisals (PRAs) reveal that strict restrictions on the use of
protected area resources by local communities, such as the banning of
grazing in Keoladeo, were ecologically unsound as well as a threat to
local livelihoods. Both PRAs have proved successful in terms of
clarifying Issues and in promoting experiential learning, yet to date
have not demonstrated significant influence on changes at local or
higher policy levels. Ultimately, such exercises should not be judged
on their ability to remedy poorly designed and insensitive protected
area schemes. Instead, it is their ability to address the underlying
needs of local people, namely their opposition to existing unequal and
in some instances illegitimate access to resources. It is these
inequities that perpetuate the conflicts which the proposed joint
management schemes attempt to mediate. The greatest challenge for
policy-makers is for PRAs to be conducted with local communities
before protected areas are formally established. Such measures would
encourage joint management, reduce potential conflict, and promote
ecologically sound practice.

AB: Abstract
This paper discusses the complexity of the protected area mosaic that
has evolved in the United Kingdom over the past 40 or so years.
Experimental matrices have been used to assist in the analysis of the
various types of protected areas. The trend has been towards the
development of protected areas to serve multiple objectives, although
categories of protected area introduced under European legislation are
more narrowly defined. There has been a proliferation in the number of
categories of protected area in the past ten years; since 1990 six new
categories of protected area have been established, two resulting from
European directives. Most of the protected areas operate indirectly
through the planning system and/or voluntary agreements. However, a
distinction is drawn between systems for nature conservation and
landscape protection with the former relying more on direct controls
(ownership and/or legal force). There is considerable potential
overlap of protected areas. New categories of protected area have
often been superimposed upon the existing system without consideration
of whether they will result in duplication of effort, expenditure etc.
We conclude that there is scope for some rationalization of the
system. Ideally this would involve replacing existing protected areas
with broader based ones but considerable simplification could be
obtained in practice by making the powers of the agencies more
flexible and changing the administrative arrangements for managing the
various protected areas.

AB: Abstract
There has been much concern about widespread declines among
amphibians, but efforts to determine the extent and magnitude of these
declines have been hampered by scarcity of comparative inventory data.
We resurveyed a transect of the Sierra Nevada mountains in western
North America that was carefully studied in the early 1900s. Our
comparisons show that at least five of the seven frog and toad species
in the area have suffered serious declines. One species has
disappeared from the area entirely and a second species, formerly the
most abundant amphibian in the area, has dwindled to a few small
remnant populations. These declines have occurred in a relatively
undisturbed, protected area and show some of the same patterns noted
in other reports of amphibian declines. Introduced predatory fish,
possibly interacting with drought-induced loss of refuge habitats,
have contributed to the decline of some species. However, the overall
cause of these dramatic losses remains unknown.

AB: Abstract
Protected areas are crucial in managing the world's natural resources.
The concept of a protected area was first put into practice in the USA
when the World's first national park, was established in 1872. This
was a milestone for conservation and since then, in situ conservation
has been recognized by many countries throughout the world. Protected
areas are vital in safeguarding the living diversity and maintaining
the life-support systems of the earth. Such areas contribute to the
economic, cultural and spiritual wealthy of nations. The 1992
convention on biological diversity calls on nations to establish
protected areas in locations rich in biodiversity, particularly those
requiring special conservation measures. At Independence in 1963, the
Government of Kenya pledged itself to support the conservation of
Kenya's natural resources and its wildlife. Currently 8% of Kenya's
land area has been set aside for conservation of major ecosystems.

AB: Abstract
The coastal lagoon of Celeston is one of the most important coastal
wetlands of the southern Gulf of Mexico in the Yucatan Peninsula. In
it is carried out important fisheries and tourist activities. Because
of its richness of aquatic birds and edemic species of flora and fauna
it was declared a protected area. This system is characterized by
receiving freshwater input through groundwater discharges.
Hydrologically, the lagoon shows three zones; the inner zone with low
salinities (34%)
and low nutrient concentrations, and the middle zones characterized by
intermediate values of salinity and higher concentrations of soluble
reactive phosphorus (3.9 mu m) and ammonium (10-15 mu m). The
residence time of the water is lower during the rainy season and
higher during nortes season, which favoured the accumulation of
organic substances as phenolic compounds which show a negative effect
in the growth of phytoplankton. The 80% of the bottom of the lagoon is
covered by submerged macrophytes principally by Chara fibrosa, Ruppia
cirrhosa and Ilaloduel wrightii: The monitoring program of these
characteristics from 1986 to 1994 permitted to establish that Celeston
Lagoon is highly influenced by the intensity and frequency of
prevailing climatic conditions coupled with biogeochemical process,
and show a high buffering ability to natural imports, but low to human
manipulation.

AB: Abstract
Five wetland oriented actions are recommended to develop and safeguard
the financial resources derived from tourism in Kenya. These are to:
improve the quality of the sewage water discharged into Lake Nakuru;
stop the inflow of agrochemicals into lake Naivasha and let an
Environmental Impact Assessment form the basis of the decision whether
or not to remove water from Lake Naivasha to supply drinking water to
Nakuru town; accelerate anti-erosion activities around Lake Baringo;
Include mangroves, that now falls under Forestry Department, in the
KWS management of marine protected areas; make the Tana River Delta a
protected area, including a large area of freshwater wetland north of
the river and develop tourism infrastructure.(DBO)

The El Bagual Ecological Reserve is a new protected area located at 26
degree 10'53"S 58 degree 56'39"W, in Laishi Department, Province of
Formosa, Argentina. The major part of aquatic environments within the
Reserve are swamps or depressions in which water remains during a
great part of the year. These environments are influenced by the
Bermejo River, specially during flood periods. The knowledge of the
fish fauna of this area is extremely scarce. 38 species found in the
Reserve are recorded in the present paper, including remarks on their
taxonomy and natural environment.

This strategy paper accepts the position that setting up comprehensive
and well-managed protected area systems is likely to be the most
practical way to preserve the greatest amount of the world's
biological diversity and the ecological processes that define and mold
it. For this reason, it suggests that initial efforts should help
support the establishment and maintenance of protected area systems by
promoting policy change, incorporating local people into protected
area management, and mobilizing financial resources for conservation
and protection.

Internships and study tours were arranged for ten Caribbean protected
area professionals in response to requests for informal training. This
article describes the arrangements made and evaluates the results of
the training exercise. A survey of training needs and opportunities in
the region indicated that the five most important skills required were
planning, administration, interpretation, patrol/enforcement and
research. Some examples of the kinds of training sought are: public
participation process in planning and management; overview of
management alternatives for marine and coastal protected areas;
trail-building and interpretation; enhancing visitor use of protected
areas; law enforcement practice; hospitality and information services
for vachtsmen.

AB: Abstract
National Parks and Reserves can play a fundamental role in the
protection of Lake Tanganyika, and help increase public awareness on
the importance of conserving its ecosystem. Three parks and reserves
play an important role in limiting erosion and pollution of the lake:
the Kibira National Park; the Ruzizi National Park; and, the
Rumonge/Vyanda Reserve. Burundi is actively protecting the natural
areas that are still intact but these areas have been chosen less by
design than by fate. The emphasis on management in Burundi is
community development around protected areas to prevent further
encroachment on the land. Buffer zones are a management tool
under-utilized in Burundi and may be extended into the lake in the
Ruzizi and Rumonge areas. Other protected area management concerns
that are starting to be addressed in Burundi are international
conventions, national conservation strategies and legislation for the
parks and reserves. Management plans for all protected areas are
currently being developed.

AB: Abstract
Dianshan Lake is an important protected area of water resources at the
upper reaches of Huangpu River in Shanghai (China). Some environmental
problems such as eutrophication, bacterial contamination and erosion
of lake-shore have arisen, however, due to improper management of the
lake and no attention having been paid to its environmental
protection. Water in the lake is polluted and its ecological
environment endangered as well. The following countermeasures are
suggested with regard to these problems: (a) to control nitrogen and
phosphorus pollution and to set up a relatively stable ecosystem; (b)
to make full use of the soil-plant ecosystem for purification; (c) to
protect the lake-shore through ecological engineering; and (d) dredge
the bottom of the lake.

AB: Abstract
A review of international experience in the management of protected
areas, as revealed by discussion at the 1982 World Congress on
National Parks, indicates universal acceptance of an ecological basis
for management. However, the degree to which scientific management has
been established and the rate at which it is progressing throughout
biogeographic realms depends on the maturity of various protected area
systems and local effectiveness in the application of research
results. Accordingly, the essential scientific needs of managers vary
internationally. They can range across the whole management spectrum,
from the design of protected area systems or individual areas, to
resource inventory and ecosystem monitoring, and management
problem-solving, especially to minimize conflicts between preservation
and use, or the impacts of introduced alien species. Suggestions
offered for improving communication between scientists and managers
include: establishing closer working relationships at all levels
providing scientific advisory services; actively promoting
management-oriented research according to a comprehensive plan;
encouragement of dialogue between scientists and managers; and
upgrading the scientific training of managers. Biosphere reserves are
recognized as ideally suited to promoting the scientific management of
protected areas, but where they lack a well-integrated, long-term
research programme they will fail to achieve their potential. (DBO)

The report describes censuses of Platanista indi between Sukkur and
Guddu Barrages in the period from 1 October 1979 to 30 June 1980. In
this protected area, the population consisted of 346 dolphins, of
which 55 were newly born. Since the first censuses in 1973-74, a
constant and regular increase in the population has occurred. In
comparison with Sind the situation in Punjab is extremely precarious
and it is hoped that the local authorities will introduce energetic
conservation measures in order to build up stocks of the present small
remaining population.
