WHMSI is building
country capacity to conserve and manage migratory wildlife. It improves
hemispheric communication on conservation issues of common interest,
provides training in priority areas, strengthens the exchange of
information needed for informed decision-making, and provides a forum to
address emerging issues such as new threats to migratory species, or the
connections between wildlife disease and human diseases.

Bats (RELCOM)
First Workshop

Agenda
Sarapiqui Statement
25 experts attended the first meeting of the Latin American Network for
Bat Conservation that took place in La Tirimbina Reserve in Costa Rica.
The meeting designed a capacity-building program to provide each of
the 11 Latin American country teams with tools and methodologies to
establish Research, Conservation, and Environmental Education Plans
highlighted by 15 years of successful work on bat conservation in
Mexico. Each country then adapts the program according to their specific
needs. Additionally, the participants drafted and approved the
Declaration of Costa Rica that lays thegroundwork for a Latin American
Strategy for Bat Conservation. The strategy aims for the conservation
of ecologically and economically important species of bats, including
those species that are conservation priorities such as endangered,
migratory, and endemic bat species.
Tirimbina, Costa Rica, December 12-14 of
