The Workshop on Greek wetlands held in Thessaloniki, Greece in 1989, brought together 26 Greek and international experts and representatives of the EEC and Ramsar Convention, to review the problems facing Greek wetlands; to identify the priority problems; and recommend effective solutions. It covers 11 background papers and 16 case studies.
   

The special significance and characteristics of mountains often require that major portions of them be afforded extra care or protection. Many have received legislative recognition by designation as parks or reserves of various kinds, and there are some 430 mountain protected areas worldwide. The guidelines are intended for planners and managers of this estate. They are offered as a sharing experience by 40 scientists and managers in over 30 countries. They arise out of an international consultation on "Protected Areas in Mountain Environments" organized in 1991.

This Action Plan lists 39 endangered and Vulnerable species and 55 “Potentially Vulnerable” species; in all 94 marsupials and 2 monotreme species that need some form of conservation action. It first describes the zoo-geography of Australasian marsupials and monotremes and the taxonomy used, and then provides a conservation overview on a country-by-country basis. It looks at possible causes of decline in Australian populations. For Irian Jaya there is a detailed description of the protected area system and how marsupial conservation has to fit into this framework. Specific recommendations for action are made and finally, 27 Species Recovery Outlines are provided.
