Proceedings of a Technical Meeting on Wetland Conservation IUCN Publications new series No 12 The Commission on Ecology of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources International Council for International Wildfowl Bird Preservation (ICBP) Research Bureau (IWRB) Proceedings of a Technical Meeting on Wetland Conservation Ankara - Bursa - Istanbul 9 to 16 October 1967 Published with the assistance of UNESCO International Union Union Internationale for Conservation of Nature pour la Conservation de la Nature and Natural Resources et de ses Ressources Morges, Switzerland 1968 The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) was founded in 1948 and has its headquarters in Morges, Switzerland; it is an independent international body whose membership comprises states, irrespective of their political and social systems, government departments and private institutions as well as international organisations. It represents those who are concerned at man's modification of the natural environment through the rapidity of urban and industrial development and the excessive exploitation of the earth's natural resources, upon which rest the foundations of his survival. IUCN's main purpose is to promote or support action which will ensure the perpetuation of wild nature and natural resources on a world-wide basis, not only for their intrinsic cultural or scientific values but also for the long-term economic and social welfare of mankind. This objective can be achieved through active conservation prog- rammes for the wise use of natural resources in areas where the flora and fauna are of particular importance and where the landscape is especially beautiful or striking, or of historical, cultural or scien- tific significance. IUCN believes that its aims can be achieved most effectively by international effort in co-operation with other intern- national agencies such as UNESCO and FAO. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an international charitable found- ation for saving the world's wildlife and wild places. It was established in 1961 under Swiss law and shares joint headquarters with the Internat- ional Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). Its aim is to support the conservation of nature in all its forms (landscape, soil, water, flora and fauna) by raising funds and allocating them to projects, by publicity and by education of the general public and young people in particular. For all these activities it takes scient- ific and technical advice from IUCN. Although WWF may occasionally conduct its own field operations, it tries as much as possible to work through competent specialists or local organisations. Among WWF projects financial support for IUCN and for the Internat- ional Council for Bird Preservation (ICBP), together with the Internat- ional Wildfowl Research Bureau (IWRB), have highest priority, in order to enable these bodies to build up the vital scientific and technical basis for world conservation and specific projects. Other projects cover a very wide range from education, ecological studies and surveys, to the establishment and management of areas as national parks and reser- ves and emergency programmes for the safeguarding of animal and plant species threatened with extinction. WWF fund-raising and publicity activities are mainly carried out by National Appeals in a number of countries, and its international governing body is made up of prominent personalities in many fields.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE This Volume in IUCN's New Series contains the Proceedings and Papers of a Technical Meeting organized by IUCN's Commission on Ecology under the programme approved by the Union's 9th General Assembly (1966). The aim of the Meeting was to promote an ecological approach to the conservation problems of the Near and Middle East Region, with special reference to the key role of wetlands and to the desirability of extend- ing to the Region the MAE Project for conservation and management of wetlands, launched by IUCN, ICBP and IWRB in 1962. The proposed venue for the Meeting was Turkey. At an early stage of the organization of the Meeting, the Commission learned that the Asiatic Wildfowl Working Group, which is conducting a long-term Wildfowl Survey in Asia under the auspices of IWRB and the Wildfowl Trust and with the financial assistance of the World Wildlife Fund, was also planning a meeting at the end of 1967, to be held in Iran. This would have been directed mainly to wildfowl conservation and man- agement, but would also clearly have involved wildfowl habitats, including most of the wetlands of the Region with which IUCN's proposed meeting was concerned. In view of the common interests and objectives, IWRB readily agreed that one meeting only should be planned for 1967, more specialised consid- eration of wildfowl management problems being postponed for a future occasion. IWRB together with ICBP joined with the Ecology Commission in sponsoring a Technical Meeting in Turkey. An approach was accordingly made to the Government of the Turkish Republic, which generously offered to act as host and provide facilities for the Meeting, detailed arrangements being entrusted to the Turkish Association for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. The Meeting was attended by forty participants and seven observers, including eighteen nationals of the host country. In addition to the three sponsoring bodies, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Biological Programme, the Council of Europe and the Wildfowl Trust were officially represented. Twenty-nine papers were specially contributed for the Meeting and reprints of a further seven publications were tabled, as a basis for discussion. To the authors, publishers, participants and all those who contributed to the success of the Meeting the debt of IUCN's Commission on Ecology is gratefully acknowledged. Hugh. F.I.

  • A Review of Southern Iraq Herpetofauna
    Vol. 3 (1): 61-71, 2019 A Review of Southern Iraq Herpetofauna Nadir A. Salman Mazaya University College, Dhi Qar, Iraq *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The present review discussed the species diversity of herpetofauna in southern Iraq due to their scientific and national interests. The review includes a historical record for the herpetofaunal studies in Iraq since the earlier investigations of the 1920s and 1950s along with the more recent taxonomic trials in the following years. It appeared that, little is known about Iraqi herpetofauna, and no comprehensive checklist has been done for these species. So far, 96 species of reptiles and amphibians have been recorded from Iraq, but only a relatively small proportion of them occur in the southern marshes. The marshes act as key habitat for globally endangered species and as a potential for as yet unexplored amphibian and reptile diversity. Despite the lack of precise localities, the tree frog Hyla savignyi, the marsh frog Pelophylax ridibunda and the green toad Bufo viridis are found in the marshes. Common reptiles in the marshes include the Caspian terrapin (Clemmys caspia), the soft-shell turtle (Trionyx euphraticus), the Euphrates softshell turtle (Rafetus euphraticus), geckos of the genus Hemidactylus, two species of skinks (Trachylepis aurata and Mabuya vittata) and a variety of snakes of the genus Coluber, the spotted sand boa (Eryx jaculus), tessellated water snake (Natrix tessellata) and Gray's desert racer (Coluber ventromaculatus). More recently, a new record for the keeled gecko, Cyrtopodion scabrum and the saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus sochureki) was reported. The IUCN Red List includes six terrestrial and six aquatic amphibian species.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 46(2), pp. 337-346, 2014. Some Biological Properties of Carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) Introduced into Damsa Dam Lake, Cappadocia Region, Turkey Ramazan Mert¹* and Sait Bulut² ¹Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Nevsehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, Nevsehir, Turkey. 2Department of Science Education, Faculty of Education, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey. Abstract.- Age composition, length–weight relationships, growth, and condition factors of the carp (Cyprinus carpio L.,1758) were determined using specimens (39.38% female and 60.62% male) collected from Damsa Dam Lake between May 2010 and April 2011. The age composition of the samples was from I to VIII. The length–weight relationship was calculated as W = 0.0181 TL 2.9689 for females and W = 0.0278 TL 2.8507 for males. The total lengths were between 17.1 and 69.2 cm, and the total weights were found to be between 86 and 5473 g. The majority of the individuals (48.12%) were between 46.0 and 55.0 cm length groups. The von Bertalanffy growth equation were found as L∞ = 86.80 cm, K = 0.189, t0 = -0.396 for females and L∞ = 85.34 cm, K = 0.175, t0 = -0.468 for males. The growth performance index was also estimated as Ф′ = 7.260 for females and Ф′ = 7.151 for males. The mean condition factor was found as 1.582 for females and 1.572 for males. The total mortality (Z) was calculated as 0.25 yıl-1. Keywords: Carp, Cyprinus carpio, age composition, condition factor, Damsa Dam Lake.
