took ABC course in Jersey and ABM in Colombia. Simon has been involved in conservation since 1974. He worked as researcher in ethology at the National Museum of Natural History and Scientific Advisor of National Direction of Protected Areas. He was the Island Representative of the Society of Caribbean Ornithology between 1990 and 2000, since then he has been the ecological advisor of the Dominican Armed Forces. He has worked as an aviculturist for many years and has bred many species of native and endemic birds of Hispaniola such as Palmchat (Dulus dominicus), our national bird; Bananaquit (Coereva flaveola); Hispaniolan Parrot (Amazona ventralis); Ashy-faced owl (Tyto glaucops); Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia); Double-striped Thick-Knee (Burhinus bistriatus); White-Crowned Pigeon (Columba leucocephala); Ground Dove (Columbina passerina); Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura); White-winged Dove (Zenaida asiatica); Ruddy Quail Dove (Geotrygon montana); and this year (2006) Hispaniolan Woodpecker (Melanerpes striatus). He’s currently Sub-Director of the National Zoo in the Dominican Republic. His duties include maintaining positive international relationships with other zoos and overseeing the conservation programme for endemic species.

Marcos Vaira
mvaira@argentina.com
took ABC course, doing work with Argentina amphibians. Marcos obtained his Biology degree at the University of Córdoba, Argentina and his doctorate degree at the University of Tucumán, Argentina. He primarily studied parental care behavior of Leptodactylus ocellatus, a species where the female attend her tadpoles until they reach metamorphosis. After his degree he continued researching parental behaviour of Leptodactylus at Panamá through a short term fellowship at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute with the advice of A. Stanley Rand. After returning to Argentina he began new research on the diversity and distribution of the species in an eco-region considered a hotspot in habitat conservation priorities. The NW subtropical mountain forests are a cloud forest habitat locally called "Yungas". He considers his most significant contributions were on general ecology, phenology, behaviour and conservation of anurans, particularly endemics and endangered species.

Arturo Munoz Saravia
Museo de Historia Natural Alcide d’Orbigny
hyla_art@yahoo.com
Arturo is a Bolivian Biologist working with amphibians and reptiles since 1998, his studies are focused in the Oriental slope of the Andes, and since 2003 he has been working on a project in Bolivia with biological assessments to propose key biodiversity sites. At the moment he is working to establish a herpetological collection in the Museo de Historia Natural Alcide d’Orbigny and the first genetic bank of my country. He is starting a project that will assess the decline of some threatened species of amphibians in several areas of the Bolivian Andes.
 His plan is to obtain and increase new skills through Workshops, Master or doctoral classes, and apply this knowledge in the conservation programs of the Bolivian and global threatened amphibian species.

Ignacio J. De la Riva

iriva@mncn.csic.es
Hi Joe: A couple of herpetologists from Cochabamba are interested in raising frogs and they would work enthusiastically in this task.  Both have participate in previous courses of RANA and congresses (as the last one in Florida). One of them is right now trying to get funds to attend the Amphibian Conservation course at the Durrell institution in Jersey, and has already some experience with Telmatobius in captivity. The other works with us in an project of monitoring populations and taking samples both in the field and collections for chytrid tests. In this project, whose principal investigator is Jaime Bosch, there are scientists from India, Australia, Cuba, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, United Kingdom, and Spain. Some years ago in La Paz there was a project to breed the giant species of the Titicaca, T. culeus. They were not very succesful. It seems this stuff is more complicated than expected, at least with this species in particular (I am attaching a paper). If there is any real chance of getting funds to develop a progam of frog raising in Bolivia, these guys would be the perfect candidates. We could really try to set something interesting there.
