There is a growing literature surrounding the challenges of implementing such projects and achieving the outcomes sought, however questions remain including: To what extent do donors value community aspects of conservation projects? Does community conservation effectively build the capacity of participating communities? To what extent might interventions such as Payments for Ecosystem Services and promoting communication improve the ecological outcomes of such projects? In this thesis I attempt to answer these questions focusing on the case of community conservation conducted by Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust in Madagascar. I use a combination of methods which rely on hypothetical scenarios (choice experiments and experimental games), and an evaluation of self- reported impacts measured using a Before-After-Control-Impact design. Firstly, I conducted a discrete choice experiment with visitors to Durrell’s Jersey Zoo to explore the impact of highlighting community involvement in a conservation project (rather than species or habitat aspects) on likely donations. Respondents showed the highest willingness to pay for projects that have local community involvement in management. By simultaneously conducting a revealed preference study through an experimental campaign asking for real donations, I attempted to validate the choice experiment findings. With the level of donation we requested, most respondents made a donation so I was not able to demonstrate an effect of campaign type on real donations. Secondly, I conducted a household survey in Northern-central Madagascar across nine communities around a lake where a community conservation project was planned, and eight around an otherwise similar lake with no planned conservation project. I used this to develop indicators of community capacity and found that the levels and changes in indicators differed, showing a requirement for capacity to be considered in multidimensional space. In the following Chapter I used these measures of community capacity to evaluate the impact of capacity building activities carried out over the first two years of a community-based conservation project aimed at preparing the first lake for the reintroduction of the world’s rarest duck. For this evaluation I used a before-after-control-impact approach allowing a robust estimation of impact. I found no evidence of impact in composite scores of capitals, though I found evidence of the impact of the intervention on some indicators of social capital. My analysis also revealed some evidence of elite capture of training and resources. Finally, I used an experimental game played with community members in both conservation and non- conservation sites to explore the hypothetical impact of potential interventions to improve viii ecosystem service provision by reducing pesticide use amongst farmers. I found that incentives in the form of subsidies increased co-operative behaviour and decreased the rate of non- cooperative behaviour. Enhancing communication did not increase the provision of ecosystem services across the game landscape, however it did increase cooperative behaviours between players. I argue that experimental games such as this have value beyond research and could be used as a tool for communities and conservation projects to explore the potential pros and cons of various interventions collaboratively. Together these chapters provide helpful evidence to improve the marketing, evaluation and future design of community-based conservation projects, in Madagascar and elsewhere, which will ultimately contribute to maximising benefits for both people and wildlife. ix Acknowledgements My thanks go to my supervisors; Julia P.G. Jones and James M. Gibbons at Bangor University and Richard P. Young at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. Over the last three and a half years or so, they have provided amazing, sustained and constructive advice and guidance which helped to shape both my research and my writing. I also am grateful to the financial support provided by the Leverhulme Trust both for my scholarship and field work costs. Our collaboration with Professor Hery-Lisy at Mahajunga University was incredibly useful, and I hope that this paves the way for future collaborations between Bangor, Durrell and Mahajunga. The main case-study within this thesis was a Darwin initiative project in collaboration between multiple organisations; Durrell (Madagascar), Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, Asity Madagascar, The Peregrine Fund, Le Ministère de L'Environnement et des Forêts (Government of Madagascar). My thanks go to all of the project partners that supported my work and provided helpful advice. I hope that they find the outcomes of the research useful. This thesis would of course not been possible if not for the hundreds of people, both in the UK and Madagascar, that we have interviewed over the last few years (sometimes twice!) the time and energy they took to answer our surveys were invaluable. I am immensely grateful for the insights they have provided in further understanding the dimensions of community-based conservation projects. In Madagascar, we were given the best welcomes- Misaotra! My thanks go to all of the people that let us camp on their land over the three years of field work, and those that gave the team and food, shelter and water. Original translations of the Malagasy household survey were conducted by Rio Ridhish Heriniaina. The survey was also guided by discussions with Hanitra Rakotojaona, Herizo Andrianandrasana and Felix Razafindrajao. The Durrell team in Madagascar really went above and beyond, from helping with physically getting to the site, to checking in on me and the team when we were camping out in the hills. To name some of that incredible team: Richard Lewis, Aina Ramamonjisoa, Lance Woolaver, Herizo Andrianandrasana, Bary Jean Rasolonjatovo, Floriot Randrianarimangason, Hanitra Rakotojaona as well as many others. Particular thanks to Felix Razafindrajao who I am so grateful for everything while I was in the field. In Jersey the field experiment could not have gone ahead without the

Dove, Division of Birds, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 10th and Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20560, USA Abstract: Knowing the exact species of birds involved in damaging collisions with aircraft (bird strikes) is paramount to managing and preventing these types of human–wildlife conflicts. While a standard genetic marker, or DNA barcode (mitochondrial DNA gene cytochrome-c oxidase 1, or CO1), can reliably identify most avian species, this marker cannot distinguish among some closely related species. Diving ducks within the genus Aythya are an example of congeneric waterfowl involved in bird strikes where several species pairs cannot be reliably identified with the standard DNA barcode. Here, we describe methods for using an additional genetic marker (mitochondrial DNA gene NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2, or ND2) for identification of 9Aythya spp. Gene-specific phylogenetic trees and genetic distances among taxa reveal that ND2 is more effective than CO1 at genetic identification of diving ducks studied here.

  • EAZA TAG Reports 2011
    TAG Reports 2011 EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF ZOOS AND AQUARIA INTRODUCTION EAZA’s Taxon Advisory Groups (TAG) range from Terrestrial Invertebrates to Tapirs and Hippos, from Penguins to Felids and many more. TAGs define the ex situ management level a species requires, which might be low, medium or high. Within the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) these levels are defined as Monitor Programmes, European Studbooks (ESB) or European Endangered Species Programmes (EEP). EAZA currently has 41 TAGs, 184 EEPs and 186 ESBs. Each TAG develops and oversees the implementation of a Regional Collection Plan (RCP), in which the management level of species is outlined. The RCP is a living document, continually under revision due to shifts in both ex situ and in situ population management. RCPs can be used as the base for Institutional Collection Plans, so that institutions obtain animals that have the highest priority of being held within the EAZA community. The TAG also oversees and helps to develop Husbandry Guidelines that reflect the best practice management of the respective taxa. The TAG itself is led by a TAG chair who is assisted by one or more TAG vice chairs, depending on the number of species covered by the group. Within the remit of the TAG also lie the EEPs, ESBs and Monitor Programmes, and the TAG encourages involvement of representatives from across the EAZA community. Most TAGs are assisted by internal and external advisors regarding specific topics, such as veterinary or research matters for instance. Additionally EAZA’s EEP Committee guides the TAGs in decision-making processes, such as approving the nomination of new breeding programme managers and non-EAZA institutions to participate in EEPs.

Normalt er dette NINAs rapportering til oppdragsgiver etter gjennomført forsknings-, overvåkings- eller utredningsarbeid. I tillegg vil serien favne mye av instituttets øvrige rapportering, for eksempel fra seminarer og konferanser, resultater av eget forsk- nings- og utredningsarbeid og litteraturstudier. NINA Rapport kan også utgis på annet språk når det er hensiktsmessig. NINA Temahefte Som navnet angir behandler temaheftene spesielle emner. Heftene utarbeides etter behov og se- rien favner svært vidt; fra systematiske bestemmelsesnøkler til informasjon om viktige problemstil- linger i samfunnet. NINA Temahefte gis vanligvis en populærvitenskapelig form med mer vekt på illustrasjoner enn NINA Rapport. NINA Fakta Faktaarkene har som mål å gjøre NINAs forskningsresultater raskt og enkelt tilgjengelig for et større publikum. De sendes til presse, ideelle organisasjoner, naturforvaltningen på ulike nivå, politikere og andre spesielt interesserte. Faktaarkene gir en kort framstilling av noen av våre viktigste forsk- ningstema.

  • The Endemic Wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands: an Annotated Bibliography
    The endemic wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands: an annotated bibliography 4th Edition, 2014 H. Glyn Young saving species from extinction Photo: Lance G Woolaver 01/10/2014 The endemic wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands: an annotated bibliography The endemic wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands: An annotated bibliography th 4 Edition The islands that comprise the Malagasy Faunal Region host ten extant, resident species of wildfowl Anatidae; all in Madagascar. A further five described and one undescribed species are extinct including all endemic species (four) from the Mascarene Islands. Madagascar today hosts the only surviving endemics: Madagascar White-backed Duck Thalassornis leuconotus insularis, Madagascar or Bernier’s Teal Anas bernieri, Meller’s Duck Anas melleri and Madagascar Pochard or White-eye Aythya innotata. Two sheldgeese endemic to Madagascar (Centrornis majori and Alopochen sirabensis), sheldgeese from Réunion (Alopochen (Mascarenachen) kervazoi) and Mauritius (Alopochen mauritiana), a small duck, possibly a grey teal, (Anas theodori) from Mauritius and Réunion and an undescribed Aythya have become extinct since human colonisation of these islands. Anas melleri has been introduced to Réunion and Mauritius and Northern Mallard Anas platyrhynchos to Mauritius, islands within the native faunal region of the former species. A small number of migrant and vagrant wildfowl have been recorded in the region with most records from Seychelles where no resident species are known. All surviving endemic ducks are currently threatened with extinction: A. innotata is Critical; A. bernieri, A. melleri and T. l. insularis are Endangered. Madagascar Pochard (from c.1920s-1940s and again since October 2009), Meller’s Duck and Madagascar Teal (one in 1920s and since 1993) are currently held in captivity.

The educational materials used were a comic book and additional materials designed specifically for local conditions in rural Madagascar. The comic book conveyed mostly system knowledge and, to a lesser extent, action-related knowledge. The additional materials posed practical tasks to students and were meant to stimulate teamwork and group discussion of students. There was a control and two treatment groups. A questionnaire was applied to test students’ environmental knowledge at three different points in time.
