Highlighted Activity
A PHVA workshop on Caribbean manatees (Trichechus manatus)
was held at Simon Bolívar Zoo, San José, Costa Rica on 20-24 June 2011.
Thirty-three participants from seven countries within the species’
range, representing 23 organizations, universities and governments,
met to analyze the status of the populations of this species at its current distribution range. Four working groups were constituted and their participants discussed the problems of the populations from the point of view of habitat conservation, public politics and education, research, and
population biology. These groups proposed a conservation strategy for the species and gave recommendations for its conservation.The report from this workshop will be published soon.
CBSG Mesoamerica has several workshops planned for 2012, including an amphibian husbandry course and an amphibian conservation strategy workshop.
