1st LAMLA Workshop
“Listening for Aquatic Mammals in Latin America”
21-23 June 2016, Natal, Brazil
We would like to invite you to participate in the upcoming event "1st
Listenning for Aquatic Mammals in Latin America" (LAMLA) to be held in
Natal, Brazil between 21 and 23 of June 2016 at the Federal University
of Rio Grande do Norte. Our aim will be to bring together researchers,
professionals, and graduate students working on bioacoustics to
communicate their work, network and interact with other researchers, and
discuss directions for a coordinated regional bioacoustics network and
collaboration, essential to strengthen both the scientific and
conservation efforts on the species locally, nationally and
internationally. The ultimate aim of the meeting will be to produce a
document that compiles bioacoustics research efforts in Latin America
and identifies future directions for developing the aquatic mammal
bioacoustics field at a regional level. Findings, conclusions and action
plans resulting from the workshop will be submitted for publication in
LAJAM.
Please join us in order to:
· assess the effort to study sounds from all aquatic mammal species
that occur in Latin America;
· share scientific information and methodologies between research
groups;
· enhance conservation efforts, locally and internationally;
· define a platform for launching new partnerships, activities or
projects.
We would like to encourage anyone with interest in these studies to
participate in our exploration of new effective conservation ideas and
possibilities. Early registration deadline: 30th April 2016. Abstract
submission deadline: May 5th, 2016.
Please don't hesitate to forward this message to colleagues or person
you think interested but keep in mind work has to be conducted in Latin
America, no exceptions.
If you need more information, please contact us at [email protected]
