Lecture on the country-specific data and QGIS overview.

Lecture on the fundamentals of GPS devices and systems and how to set coordinate systems.

GIS datasets that are used in the exercises for the PIPAP GIS training.

Workbook containing exercises on viewing data, creating/editing datasets, producing maps, and importing GPS data using country-specific datasets to aid in the collection and mapping of protected areas.

To introduce this collection of studies, a logical first question to ask is why produce a “lessons learned” publication?

Avariety of factors can affect the biodiversity of tropicalmammal communities,

but their relative importance and directionality remain uncertain. Previous

global investigations of mammal functional diversity have relied on range

maps instead of observational data to determine community composition. We

test the effects of species pools, habitat heterogeneity, primary productivity

and human disturbance on the functional diversity (dispersion and richness)

of mammal communities using the largest standardized tropical forest camera

With increasing globalization of markets, rising environmental awareness, and attention from international conventions and agreements, the vast majority of countries are looking into managing their forests more sustainably. The main limitation appears to be lack of funding for improving forest management. Traditional sources include the government, targeted investments from the private sector, international donor support, and contributions in kind from rural communities. But these are grossly inadequate, and additional finances are required.

Promote and encourage the use of standard wetland inventory methodologies following the Ramsar Framework for Wetland Inventory (Resolution VIII.6), to undertake, update and disseminate national (or, where appropriate, provincial) scientific inventories of wetlands.

Williamson and Sabath (1982) have demonstrated a significant relationship between modern population size and environment by examining atoll area and rainfall in the Marshall Islands. The present work seeks to extend that argument into prehistory by examining the relationship of ancient habitation sites and size of aroid pit agricultural systems to atoll land area and rainfall regime along the 1,500-3,500 mm precipitation gradient in the Marshall Islands.
