Review of selected species subject to long-standing import suspensions. Part I: Africa. UNEP-WCMC, Cambridge. The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) is the specialist biodiversity assessment of the United Nations Environment Programme, the world’s foremost intergovernmental environmental organization. The Centre has been in operation for over 30 years, combining scientific research with policy advice and the development of decision tools. We are able to provide objective, scientifically rigorous products and services to help decision- makers recognize the value of biodiversity and apply this knowledge to all that they do. To do this, we collate and verify data on biodiversity and ecosystem services that we analyze and interpret in comprehensive assessments, making the results available in appropriate forms for national and international level decision-makers and businesses. To ensure that our work is both sustainable and equitable we seek to build the capacity of partners where needed, so that they can provide the same services at national and regional scales.

    2021 Albert L. Tester Memorial Symposium A'ohe pau ka 'ike i ka hāl au ho'okahi April 20 – 23, 2021 School of Life Sciences University of Hawai‘i at Mā n oa About Tester Symposium The Albert L. Tester Memorial Symposium is held in honor of Professor Albert Tester who, at the time of his death in 1974, was a professor of Zoology at the University of Hawai`i. Faculty and students of the Department of Zoology proposed an annual symposium of student research papers as a means of honoring and continuing Dr. Tester's lively encouragement of student research in a broad range of fields within biology. Today the Tester Memorial Symposium welcomes research from any scientific field. This year’s symposium will focus on the integration of indigenous science and modern research in Hawai`i and beyond. Our inspiration comes from the ' ōlelo no’eau (Hawaiian proverb) “ A'ohe pau ka 'ike i ka hā lau ho'okahi” (All knowledge is not learned in one school). Organizers and Contributors Graduate Student Organizers : Anamica Bedi de Silva, Carlo Caruso, Robyn Screen Faculty Organizers: Mark Hixon, Mark Merlin, Megan Porter, Rosana Zenil-Ferguson Staff Organizers: Pia Dizon, Audrey Shintani School of Life Sciences Chair: Clifford Morden Original artwork provided by Kai Smart Mahalo to all our volunteers!
