Mongolia Conservation Talk

Mongolia Conservation Talk

Odonkhuu.D from National Geo-Information Centre will
present a talk entitled "The Effectiveness of Protected Areas in Conserving Biodiversity"
on *Thursday, December 4, 2008.*

The talk will be about the assessment of protected area effectiveness in conserving its biodiversity resources. The review aims to raise the question whether the current PA system and its management
effectively contributes to the conservation of biodiversity. If not, what are the causes for this ineffectiveness and what possible solutions could be proposed to solve this problem. This analysis overlays the range of selected species of concern IUCN Red Listed Large Mammal with PA system to review the proportion of the range of these species within PAS.

Biobeers is held on the first Thursday of every month at Sweet Cafe located behind the Information and Technological National Park and next to the Admon Printing Company, west of Internom Bookstore Building. People are requested to arrive after 6pm, in time for the talk to start at 6.30.

Biobeers is a monthly gathering of government and NGO staff, biologists, researchers, and other professionals interested in conservation. Each month, Biobeers sponsors a half-hour presentation on a topic relevant to Mongolian conservation, followed by an informal gathering to discuss activities and issues of interest. Biobeers is an opportunity to find out what is happening in the field of conservation in Mongolia, talk informally to other researchers and peers in your
field, and share information about issues critical to the environment and people of Mongolia.

Biobeers is organised by the Zoological Society of London's Steppe Forward Programme and sponsored by the Wildlife Conservation Society. At Biobeers the beer is on us!
