  • An Assessment of Wildlife Use by Northern Laos Nationals
    animals Article An Assessment of Wildlife Use by Northern Laos Nationals Elizabeth Oneita Davis * and Jenny Anne Glikman San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research, 15600 San Pasqual Valley Rd, Escondido, CA 92026, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 March 2020; Accepted: 8 April 2020; Published: 15 April 2020 Simple Summary: Although unsustainable wildlife consumption is a leading threat to biodiversity in Southeast Asia, there is still a notable lack of research around the issue, particularly into which animals may be “on the horizon” of impending conservation concern. Using semistructured interviews, we investigated the consumption of wildlife in northern Laos, with a focus on the use of wildlife for medicinal purposes. Bear bile was the most popular product, but serow bile was second in popularity and used for similar ailments. In light of these results, and considering the vulnerability of both bear and serow populations in the wild, greater concern needs to be taken to reduce demand for these products, before this demand becomes a significant conservation challenge. Abstract: Unsustainable wildlife trade is a well-publicized area of international concern in Laos. Historically rich in both ethnic and biological diversity, Laos has emerged in recent years as a nexus for cross-border trade in floral and faunal wildlife, including endangered and threatened species. However, there has been little sustained research into the scale and scope of consumption of wildlife by Laos nationals themselves. Here, we conducted 100 semistructured interviews to gain a snapshot of consumption of wildlife in northern Laos, where international and in some cases illegal wildlife trade is known to occur.

August 2013 APPLYING KNOWLEDGE CREATING RESULTS ADDING VALUE C1352 ©2013 Gruen Gruen + Associates. Do not reproduce without written permission from Gruen Gruen + Associates. INTRODUCTION The Southern Illinois Airport has been a significant economic entity in Jackson County for many years. The potential for further economic growth was realized in the 1990’s when the cities of Carbondale and Murphysboro joined with the Southern Illinois Airport Authority and the Jackson County Board to form the Jackson County Business Development Corporation, now known as Jackson Growth Alliance, to promote economic development at the Southern Illinois Airport. A major initiative of the Jackson County Business Development Corporation was to promote the development of an educational facility at the airport that would provide a permanent home for Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Aviation Technology, Aviation Flight and Management and Automotive Technology programs. These efforts supported the work of SIU, the State of Illinois and the Southern Illinois Airport Authority that culminated in the opening of the $60 million SIU Transportation Education Center in 2012. The Transportation Education Center presents tremendous economic development opportunities at the Southern Illinois Airport.

  • Air America in Laos II – Military Aid by Dr
    Air America in Laos II – military aid by Dr. Joe F. Leeker Part II First published on 29 May 2006, last updated on 24 August 2015 I) Air America in Laos: military and paramilitary aid 1968-1973 Madriver operations 1968-73 During the 1968-73 period, the original Madriver contract had been transformed into contract no. F62531-67-0028 for Fiscal Years 68, 69, and 70 on 1 July 67, but as before, this contract covered flying services to be provided by an ever growing number of Udorn-based UH-34Ds plus the operation of one C-47 out of Bangkok, apparently a courier aircraft.1 On 1 July 70, that contract was followed by contract no. F04606-71-C-0002 that covered the Udorn-based UH-34Ds, the Bangkok-based C-47 plus a Udorn-based Volpar, apparently another courier aircraft.2 That contract is much more complex, as it does not only cover flying services to be performed by the UH-34Ds and the 2 transport planes, but also drop-in maintenance of Raven O-1 and U-17 aircraft, crash / battle damage repair to DEPCHIEF- managed T-28s, support services to the Khmer Air Force and a lot of other operation and maintenance services. But apart from the prices, section XIV dealing with “Flying Services for Government furnished UH-34 aircraft (Item 1)” is not much different from similar sections in earlier versions of the Madriver contract.3 So it can be assumed that the types of missions flown by Air America’s UH-34Ds were still more or less the same as those described for the pre-1968 period.
