Colorado State University is conducting a workshop to introduce participants to the the field of conservation biology, 13-17 July in Fort Collins. An increased emphasis and concern for biotic diversity on public and private lands has resulted in the need for information on how best to approach this complex issue. Additionally, restrictions on logging, grazing, mining and recreation activities have placed those responsible for natural resources in the position of attempting to manage, simultaneously, for apparently conflicting goals. Enrollment is limited to 30 participants. Applicants should be fluent in Spanish and English.
All positions carry an initial two year contract which can be renewed.
Applicants should be available to start in June, 1992. The newly opened Pan American Regional Office of the International Council for Bird Preservation in Quito, Ecuador is seeking a Program Assistant. Candidates must have a degree in biology, environmental studies or ornithology, and experience in conservation work. Ideally candidates should be fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The New Zealand-based Maruia Society, a conservation organization with a work program in New Zealand, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Fiji, has produced the first issue of a quarterly magazine, Maruia.
