It has been a new nation for 12 years and has been busy building everything from a police force to an education system. Much progress has been made with help from many countries including Australia but there is still a long way to go. For many years now the Alternative Technology Association (ATA) has been working in Timor- Leste to provide small scale solar power installations in remote villages. In 2013 the ATA in collaboration with Timor Adventures commenced Light up Timor-Leste tours so that others can become involved in this wonderful project whilst also having a really good holiday. Getting to Timor Leste Darwin - Dili; Air North Denpasar - Dili; Sriwijaya & Air Timor About Atauro Atauro Island is a small island situated 25km north of Dili the capital city of Timor Leste. It sits between the Indonesian islands of Alor and Wetar. Atauro is about 25 km long and 9 km wide and is inhabited by about 10,000 people. Mt. Manucoco is the highest point at 999m above sea level. Atauro became part of Portuguese Timor as a result of the 1859 treaty of Lisbon. Over the years the island has been used as a prison island by the Portuguese and the Indonesians. The name Atauro means ‘goat’ in the local language. It was so named because of the large number of goats on the island.

We visited Timor, Sumba, Flores and Komodo in search of Indonesia’s rarest and least known species, ending up on Bali in search of the famous starlings. These islands are relatively undeveloped, thinly populated and seldom visited by birders but they gave us access to some of the rarest birds on the planet. Starting on the largest island, Timor with its dry grassland, acacia scrub and montane forest, it is home to the greatest number of endemics. We had to split our time here in two due to a last-minute rescheduling of our internal flights and this did affect our success here a little but we still managed to see most of what the island has to offer. Then we flew across to the arid island of Sumba which is the most isolated and least often visited.

    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1.

  • New Distributional Information for the Birds of Flores, Indonesia, Including New Localities for the Endangered Flores Scops Owl Otus Alfredi
    Andrew Hart Reeve & Samuel Rabenak 3 Bull. B.O.C. 2016 136(1) New distributional information for the birds of Flores, Indonesia, including new localities for the Endangered Flores Scops Owl Otus alfredi by Andrew Hart Reeve & Samuel Rabenak Received 22 January 2015 Summary.—The Indonesian island of Flores hosts a remarkable avifauna that is both highly endemic and highly threatened. Nevertheless, basic knowledge of these birds is incomplete. Here we present new distributional information for 18 of the island’s bird species obtained during 2011; these include endemics such as Leaf Lorikeet Trichoglossus weberi and rarely recorded residents like Oriental Dwarf KingfisherCeyx erithaca. Our records of all Flores endemics are summarised, and we present new information on the habitat tolerance of two additional range-restricted species. Most significant is the discovery of the little-known and Endangered Flores Scops Owl Otus alfredi at three new localities in the hills of far-western Flores, more than doubling the known altitudinal range of this endemic, which was previously considered to be strictly montane. We report new information regarding the owl’s habitat preferences, vocalisations and sympatric occurrence with the other two Otus scops owls on Flores. Flores (08°S, 119–123°E; 13,500 km2) is a young volcanic island in the western Lesser Sundas of Indonesia, within the biogeographic region of Wallacea. Part of the Northern Nusa Tenggara Endemic Bird Area (Stattersfield et al. 1998), it hosts a large number of range-restricted bird species. Three occur only on Flores, with two others additionally occurring on the small nearby island of Rinca generally considered to be ‘Flores endemics’ as well.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study aims to analyze patterns of economic growth and island cluster inequality in Maluku Province during the period 2010-2016. The data in this study are secondary data using quantitative descriptive methods and analytical typology analysis tools and theil index. The results showed that the VIII-IX island cluster which was classified as advanced and fast growing but had a very high inequality compared to other island cluster groups was Tual City, Southeast Maluku Regency and Aru Islands Regency. The division of the Maluku region in the Klassen typology is based on the center of growth with the hinterland area. Southern Maluku as a development area is classified as developed and fast-growing where Tual City is a center of growth but has a very high inequality compared to Maluku in the northern region. Keywords: Growth center, Inequality, Island cluster, Klassen typology JEL classification: R10, R11 INTRODUCTION Regional development in general has the aim to develop the region in a better direction by utilizing the potential of the region to prosper the people in the region. The development of an area requires appropriate policies and strategies and programs.

Stephen Roberts July 2012 Rationale • Ocean floor hydrothermal vent sites, with the associated formation of massive sulfide deposits: – play a fundamental role in the geochemical evolution of the Earth and Oceans, – are a key location of heat loss from the Earth’s interior – provide insights into the formation of ancient volcanogenic massive sulfides. • Furthermore, they are increasingly viewed as attractive sites for the commercial extraction of base metals and gold. • In addition Mn-Co nodules and crusts are increasing recognised as potentially attractive environments for Mn and Cobalt extraction 3 Source: Hannington et al 2011 4 Leg 169 Middle Valley Leg 158 TAG Leg 193 Pacmanus Source: Mid-Ocean Ridges: Hydrothermal Interactions Between the Lithosphere and Oceans, Geophysical Monograph Series 148, C.R.
