Grebes : status survey and conservation action plan
    Fjeldsa, Jon | O'Donnel, Colin

Grebes are specisalised waterbirds which inhabit marshlands and reed-fringed lakes. Their dependence on wetlands is total and as a result they are particularly vulnerable to changes in ecosystems and their deterioration. So adapted are they to the wetlands they inhabit that they are an ideal indicator of the health of wetlands and the changes taking place, changes often imperceptible to humans. Since c. 1970, two of the 22 recognised species of grebes have gone extinct and two others are in a critical situation. One of the greatest threats to their survival is loss of habitat. This action plan reviews the threats to grebes throughout the world and their current status and proposes a series of eight priority actions to ensure their survival
Inventory of heritage sites in Nepal
The rattans of Nepal
    Amatya, Swoyambhu Man

This publication presents information on the identification, phytogeography, utilisation and promotional potentials of rattans in Nepal. It also highlights the status of rattan utilisation and conservation along with prospects for their cultivation and domestication. Rattan habitats in the sultry forest of terai and the damp gorges of deep rivers are being progressively reduced due to human encroachment. It is believed that this publication will contribute much to the conservation of the rattans in Nepal

Tapirs : status survey and conservation action plan [with Spanish and Portuguese chapters]
    Bodmer, Richard E. | Brooks, Daniel M. | Matola, Sharon

Descended from a long and ancient lineage, tapirs are important tropical forest seed dispersers. However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations. It provides a brief natural history of each species and its objective is to aid in their conservation by catalysing conservation action. In addition, it is hoped that the contents of the plan will stimulate further research into this fascinating group of animals.
The African wild dog : status survey and conservation action plan
    Ginsberg, Joshua R. | Macdonald, David W. (David Whyte) | Woodroffe, Rosie

Over the last 30 years the African wild dog population has declined dramatically. Dogs have disappeared from 25 of the 39 countries in which they were previously found, and only 6 populations are believed to number more than 100 animals. Today it is believed that between 3,000 and 5,500 dogs remain in 600-1,000 packs only and most of these are to be found in eastern and southern Africa. The dramatic reduction in the wild dog population has been attributed to a number of factors, among them, human population growth and activities, deterioration of their habitat and contact with domestic dogs and the diseases they carry. This action plan explores some of the reasons behind the disappearance of these creatures and provides a number of proposed solutions to stem this. Solutions range from habitat management and conservation to keeping close tabs on domestic dogs and are split into three priority areas.
