The 11th ARRCN International Symposium

Bali, October 10-11, 2019

BACKGROUND

Raptor or Bird of Prey (i.e. Eagle, Hawk, Falcon, Vultures, Owl etc.) is widely recognized as an index species reflecting the soundness of their habitat. This is because they are at the top of food chains, and they are quite sensitive to changes in ecosystems and vulnerable to pollutants in environment. Protection of healthy ecosystems, as well as of environment indispensable for Raptors consequently leads to conservation of biodiversity and Survival of Humans.

ARRCN-logo

The first Asian Raptor Research and Conservation (ARRC) International Symposia was held in 1998 with the participation of raptor researchers and conservationists throughout Asia in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. At the symposium, the Asian Raptor Research and Conservation Network (ARRCN) was established in order to promote research and conservation of raptors in Asia. As per September 2017, the ARRCN membership comprises of 260 raptor researchers and 5 organizations from 33 countries across the globe, including from Indonesia.

The objectives of ARRCN are to exchange information concerning raptors among its member, including research methodology, techniques for habitat restoration, care for injured raptors, etc; to compile a database on raptors, including their distribution, population, habitat, ecology, breeding and all other aspects important to their conservation, especially on the status of native Asian raptors. The ARRCN also coordinate the research activities on migratory species, as well as common and widespread raptor species in Asia.

The 11th Asian Raptor Research and Conservation Network International Symposia aims to exchange information concerning raptors, including research methodology, techniques for habitat restoration, care for injured raptors, etc. It is also aim to compile database on raptors, especially on the status of native Asian raptors.

The results of this Symposia will provide significant information to establish the Asian conservation strategy for Raptors which leads into conservation of raptors and their habitat throughout Asian countries in particular, as well as for raptor and its habitat conservation strategy across the globe.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GRANT

The ARRCN is planning to establish an “International Students Grant” to provide partial travel fees or a “special award” for a limited number of students in each Asian country who have been keen on raptor research and conservation. This “special award” is US. $ 500 which will be provided to 2 students who will make their presentations based upon the continued excellence of their continued raptor research.

Students who would like to receive ISG should make their own presentations on raptor research or conservation activities at this Symposium. In other words, a partial travel support can be given to a limited number of students whose papers are accepted for presentation at the Symposium.

Although the amount of support per student is dependent on the number of applicants, the maximum amount of support is half of the round-trip airline expenses due to fund limitations.

If you want to apply to the ISG, please send me (t-yamaza@mx.biwa.ne.jp) an abstract of your presentation by the end of May. Applicants will be notified of results around the middle of June by the ARRCN secretariat.

Since the fund of ISG is very small, ARRCN can support a limited number of students who will contribute to raptor research and conservation in Asia. Therefore, I strongly hope that you will do your best to locate other funds towards acquiring travel fees to join this important ARRCN 11th Symposium in Bali, Indonesia.
