Outcomes of your fieldguides
to Indonesian flora and fauna
Over the last few years Kathy MacKinnon and I have been able to find
various sources of money within the World Bank to support the
production of local language field guides, mainly in Asia. To help our
push to get yet more money we need your help.
It would be good to show that there are serious outcomes of these
books in terms of capacity building, conservation, changed lives, etc.
We would thus like you to send us stories or reactions to the books.
The stories can be about individuals, young and old, about bird clubs,
about conservation rangers using them, of discovering 'new' species
through village people complaining that not all species are presented,
etc. We expect a wide range of stories and envisage putting together a
short report with boxes
resulting from your assistance.
We would also like to know from you how the books could have been more
effective.
The Bahasa Indonesia fieldguides which had World Bank funding were:
o Indonesian Mangroves
o Bamboos of Java
o Bamboos of the Lesser Sundas
