Factors influencing the distribution and conservation status of the Asiatic black bear and Malayan sun bear in Laos.
Ms. Scotson will develop information on spatial distribution, ecology and conservation status of Asiatic black bear and Malayan sun bear in Lao Peoples Democratic Republic. We look forward to the results of this work in a largely “blank” area as far as bears are concerned. Her photos illustrate some of the difficulties in running well--designed surveys in that sort of country. Her research will lead to a series of recommendations to governmental agencies and educational workshops.
