OBJECTIVES OF RISCINSA

v Encourage and promote the study of non-‐volant (non-‐flying) small mammals (rodents,

insectivores, tree shrews, etc,) by organizing and running a network of all specialists,

providing them useful services.

v Maintain a check-‐list and database -‐-‐ as complete and correct as possible -‐-‐ of rodents

and insectivores of South Asia providing local, national and regional information to be

shared with important national and international agencies and organizations.

v Catalyse, organize, conduct and follow-‐up conservation assessment and other

workshops and training exercises for rodent specialists of South Asia and public

education projects as appropriate, nationally or regionally.

v Follow up such workshops with recommendations to local, state, national and regional

wildlife authorities for protection for threatened species of rodents, etc. and promotion

of further studies of Data Deficient species.

v Undertake a set of specific “tasks” utilising the information from the workshops to

further enhance our knowledge of non-‐volant small mammal status in South Asia.

v Research and disseminate information about funding sources for field surveys.

v Bring out a newsletter of current non-‐volant mammals conservation, research and education

news.

v Prepare a Directory of rodent and insectivore specialists of South Asia for distribution to all network members.

v Prepare educational materials at different levels on rodents, etc. for conveying to policy

makers, politicians, and the public – all ages and languages. Much material is on hand

with us.

v Involve researchers in public education on bats by providing printed material, and

guidelines.

Other Informations: Wish to collect opportunistic data on other small mammals during this field study on small wild cats and will be able to share the information. I conceptualize & conduct the monthly educational programme of the FOGSL (Field Ornithology group of Sri Lanka) for children, along with colleague. We educate children on animals, plants & different aspects of nature through lessons, field trips & fun activities. I also take part in the school environmental programme of the FOGSL as an educator. Hence, the study material given to us by Zoo Outreach Organisation proved to be very useful in the class. These study packs made me think in new dimensions, so that I could adopt new methods and techniques in my lessons. I wish to establish a long-‐lasting affiliation with your organisation not only as a researcher but also as an educator, especially because we are conducting these programmes only with our own experience, your experience and support will be of immense advantage.
