Wilco Liebregts
Dear Colleagues,
Please find following Pacific Vacancies - Announcement No. 2001/ 12 For those interested in applying - Good luck! Wilco Liebregts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO-CONSULT PACIFIC NOW HAS MORE THAN 650 PACIFIC ISLAND SPECIALISTS ON ITS DATABASE. IN ADDITION, WE ALSO HAVE AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS IN THE PACIFIC REGION FROM WHERE WE CAN SOURCE EXPERTISE. VISIT OUR WEBSITE: www.pacificforum.com/ecoconsult ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO-CONSULT PACIFIC appreciates a reference to its Pacific Vacancy Announcement Service if you decide to send in an application. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOB DESCRIPTION TITLE: Live Reef Fish Trade Coordinator SUPERVISOR: Director, Coastal/Marine Program LOCATION: Hong Kong DATE: January, 2001 SUMMARY OF POSITION: The Nature Conservancy's Asia/Pacific Coastal/Marine Program is working to develop and refine its live reef fish trade strategy to help minimize the trade's destructive impact on marine biodiversity in Indonesia and the Pacific. Recognizing the unsustainable nature of the live reef fish trade and its immense threats to marine biodiversity, the Conservancy is working to catalyze a trend that will convert the trade's dependence on wild caught groupers to the use of groupers raised in hatcheries. The Conservancy believes that this market transformation can be achieved through the mariculture of target species in the supply (or exporting) countries such as Indonesia and in mainland China. Sustainable mariculture will help abate the damaging effects of destructive fishing methods on coral reefs, while relieving fishing pressure on the breeding populations of targeted species. Leading this effort will be a Live Reef Fish Trade Coordinator. S/he will build and maintain partnerships within the wide range of business, government, NGO, and intergovernmental parties involved in the trade. The Coordinator will also be responsible for hiring and managing consultants; promoting critical policy changes; implementing the demand component of the Conservancy's live reef fish trade strategy and ensuring integration with supply side country activities; and, helping secure additional financial support (funds and in-kind) to execute the strategy. S/he will report to the Director of the Coastal/Marine Program. DUTIES: 1. Initiate and strengthen collaboration among regional partners to develop and implement a coordinated strategy for exporting countries and in Greater China to support a sustainable live reef fish trade. 2. Recruit, hire and manage two consultants, an International Trade Specialist and a Mariculture Specialist, and work with them to develop a coordinated approach to address the demand side of the industry. 3. Together with the International Marinelife Alliance (IMA), TRAFFIC, Hong Kong Chamber of Seafood Merchants, other individuals and agencies, and the International Trade Specialist, develop and implement a system to monitor market trends for the live reef fish trade and disseminate the information internationally as appropriate for active management of the trade. 4. Work with partners to determine the price-demand relationship in the live reef fish trade and explore the possibility of manipulating the price structure to regulate the trade. 5. Determine the best roles of demand markets (Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China in particular) in assisting the Conservancy to achieve its objectives in mariculture development. Work with the Greater China Team, the Mariculture Specialist and other key players to develop and implement sustainable strategies. Such key players include the Taiwan Fish Breeding Association, Taiwan's Overseas Fisheries Development Council, the Hong Kong Government's Agriculture and Fisheries Department, seafood restaurant associations, and the Hong Kong Chamber of Seafood Merchants, as well as other major players in mariculture technologies (e.g., Queensland Department of Primary Industries, Gondol Fisheries Research Institute, etc.). 6. Frequently assess and evaluate the Conservancy's collaborative, multi-partner, Integrated Live Reef Fish Trade strategy, update as necessary and develop an implementation plan for the Conservancy's component, including helping to secure resources. 7. Engage APEC and other government partners in promoting regional policies and regulations, a certification system, and enforcement programs to support sustainable practices. 8. Identify and encourage private and public investors in mariculture in Indonesia and mainland China. Work with Conservancy staff to catalyze financial investments in mariculture linked to the conservation of marine biodiversity, such as through a Biodiversity Enterprise Fund. 9. Prepare reports and presentations and attend meetings as may be required by the Director, Coastal Marine Program and the Director, Greater China Program. REQUIREMENTS: 1. Excellent business background with experience in the development and implementation of marketing programs. 2. Strong experience in macroeconomics and/or international trade policies. 3. Strong working experience in Greater China (especially Taiwan and Hong Kong). 4. Experience working with government agencies and international policy organizations; good lobbying skills. 5. Fishery or environmental conservation experience preferred but not required. 6. Excellent communications and writing skills. 7. Fluency in spoken English and Chinese (Mandarin required; Cantonese preferred but not required).

Dear Colleagues,
Please find following Pacific Vacancies - Announcement No. 2001/ 12 For those interested in applying - Good luck! Wilco Liebregts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO-CONSULT PACIFIC NOW HAS MORE THAN 650 PACIFIC ISLAND SPECIALISTS ON ITS DATABASE. IN ADDITION, WE ALSO HAVE AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS IN THE PACIFIC REGION FROM WHERE WE CAN SOURCE EXPERTISE. VISIT OUR WEBSITE: www.pacificforum.com/ecoconsult ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECO-CONSULT PACIFIC appreciates a reference to its Pacific Vacancy Announcement Service if you decide to send in an application. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WILDLIFE VOLUNTEER NEEDED FOR PLANT MANAGEMENT PROJECTS IN MAURITIUS WITH THE MAURITIAN WILDLIFE FOUNDATION Starting from March 2001 for six months to one year. The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation is a highly successful Non-Governmental Organisation working to save the globally endangered flora and fauna of Mauritius and Rodrigues. Notable successes include the conservation of the Mauritius kestrel, pink pigeon and echo parakeet and ecosystem restoration projects in Mauritius, its offshore islets and Rodrigues. Plant Conservation Projects We are seeking a motivated plant ecologist with an interest in invasive species management to work together with our MWF weed ecologist on the following current and future programmes on Ile aux Aigrettes (a 25 ha. island close to the Mauritian mainland that we are currently restoring) and on the Mauritian mainland: 1. Quantification of the weed potential of Flacourtia indica on Ile aux Aigrettes. Flacourtia indica is one of the most serious weeds on Ile aux Aigrettes. Very little is known about its basic ecology on the island. Investigations are currently under way on such parameters as growth rate, seed production and contribution to the soil seed bank. 2. Comparison of manual, chemical and integrated control strategies for weed management on Ile aux Aigrettes. Investigations are ongoing into the effects of the different strategies on native and non-native plant regeneration and on the cost-effectiveness of management. 3. Impact of giant tortoises on the flora of Ile aux Aigrettes. Pristine Mauritius once had two species of giant tortoise, which were the main large herbivores present on the island. Both species are now extinct but clearly would have had a major impact on the Mauritian ecosystem. In an effort to simulate this effect, Aldabran tortoises were released into an enclosed area on Ile aux Aigrettes in November. Their effects on the native and introduced vegetation are being investigated. 4. The impact of introduced plants on the native ecosystems of the Mauritian upland forest. Although information exists on the impact of weeds on native vegetation in Mauritius few quantitative studies have been undertaken as yet. This program will establish a priority ranking of weeds in terms of criteria such as current extent, rate of spread and ease of control in different ecological zones. The programs WILL NOT involve long hours of manual weeding!!!! We have long-term staff available for this. Requirements Applicants should be able to key plants to genus and species and have some experience of plant propagation methods and ecological methodologies. They must be willing to learn, work in a team, maintain a good attitude, have the ability to walk across rough terrain and work long field hours. Data analysis, data presentation and report writing skills are also necessary. You will also need a clean driving license. Minimum age 21. Experience gained You will gain practical experience of weed management, nursery management, ecosystem restoration, data analysis and presentation, working as a team member, and group dynamics. Expenses & living conditions We cannot pay travel costs to and from Mauritius. Accommodation and relevant field equipment are provided. You will need binoculars, a compass and field clothes. You will be based on Ile aux Aigrettes most of the time. The island has a small house and a bunkhouse. You will have to share rooms with others. As part of our restoration project the successful applicant will have the chance to work on Round Island for at least a month. Round Island is a much more remote island than Ile aux Aigrettes. It has suffered a massive loss of vegetation because of the activities of introduced rabbits and goats (now eradicated). We are at the beginning phase of a project to restore the island. In addition to Ile aux Aigrettes, we have field stations in four locations in the Black River Gorges National Park and a house on the Mauritian mainland for aviary staff and for rest & recuperation for other field staff. We are currently in the planning stage for the construction of a Round Island field station. It will be ready by the time the restoration project begins (May 2001). We generally advise people to bring the equivalent of about 200 pounds sterling monthly living expenses. Although people start as pure volunteers it is sometimes possible to raise a local salary six months after arriving. However, there can be no guarantee of this. Volunteers often go on to pursue post-graduate degrees following on from the project they were working in or in a linked area. Once again there can be no guarantee of this. What to expect Long field days, tropical sun, tropical seas and tropical rain, meeting new people, and learning about new places, some of the rarest birds, plants, reptiles and bats in the world. Position open until filled. APPLY ASAP. Contact for further details Dr John Mauremootoo Plant Conservation Manager Mauritian Wildlife Foundation Black River Office Avenue Bois des Billes La Preneuse Mauritius e-mail cjmaure@...
