Report, 2002vi
AcknowledgementsA Conservation Assessment and Management Plan Workshop is in many ways a “phenomenon”. With thecollaboration and cooperation of a great number of people, it could not come about in the first instant and couldnever be completed successfully. The three stages of a C.A.M.P. – planning, implementation and follow-up areall exercises in chaotic activity and grueling work. The people who help it happen, planners, participants aswell as those who put together the Report deserve special credit, which is the purpose of this page.Preparation: preparation for a C.A.M.P. primarily involves putting together two important lists: 1) a list ofpotential participants and 2) a list of target species. Assembling a list of participants for just any workshop maynot be so difficult but for a C.A.M.P. one wants people who have genuine information – field biologists,taxonomists, foresters who have studied the target taxa. There are few readymade lists of these people sohunting them down demands painstaking work. The list of taxa also is not straightforward in India and SouthAsia – this requires collecting species lists from many sources and verifying each species and subspecies withpublished references. It also requires tracking down all synonyms and common names and recent taxonomicmodifications. Preparation also requires collecting all published sources of field surveys, sightings andidentifications for reference in the workshop. It takes months. For this we should thank first our ChiropteraConservation and Information Network members who sent articles and reprints for our use. Also many thanksto P.O. Nameer for his painstaking research list of Chiroptera and Paul Bates for his excellent book, Bats ofthe Indian Subcontinent. Finally but most, we must thank our Research Associate K. Padma Priya whocoordinated all lists of people and animals, briefing material, sources, invitations, schedules and travel; as wellas Latha G. Ravi Kumar, A.R. Binu Priya, J. Sheela, B.A. Daniel, A. Jyoti Maler, B. Ravichandran, S.Saroja, Geetha Kannan, S. Sudha, K. Krishnaveni, Sonali Lahiri, Arul Jegadeesh, Hanneke de Boer,Senthilkumar and Manju Siliwal who assisted with various stages of the C.A.M.P. There were many, manylate nights and frayed nerves, with some learning a new computer programme so they could input data directlyduring the C.A.M.P. and others designing and printing bat masks so we could break the tension with a bit offun.Implementation: When the C.A.M.P. begins, no matter how much you tell the participants to be prepared forhard work, nobody can quite believe what this actually entails. Filling out 8-page Taxon Data Sheets withinformation that you might have come across in the field years ago, arguing with other participants, facilitators,learning the brain-boggling IUCN Red List Criteria takes its toll. The first night that you work till 9 or 10 p.m.is kind of fun – something different for a workshop – but by the 3 rd and 4 th days (and nights) of filling in theubiquitous sheets, participants are wondering what kind of monsters invented the C.A.M.P. Workshop. By thelast day when everyone thinks they can’t part with another piece of information, suddenly it’s over – there is alist of species which have been carefully assessed and categorized using IUCN’s Red List Criteria andCategories and more information on any one than has ever been compiled before. This information will go intoa Report that can be used to save species. This makes it all worthwhile. The participants are not the only onesto suffer. C.A.M.P. recorders, which come from CBSG, South Asia, also sit up late at night with strained eyesand aching backs to record information in a computerized database. This makes it possible for participants totake home a draft report right from the workshop. For this we must thank Latha G. Ravi Kumar, A.R. BinuPriya, K. Padma Priya, Hanneke de Boer and B.A. Daniel for their hours of recording as well as B.Ravichandran and J. Sheela for duplicating the report in such a short time.Even then, it is not over. Participants take home the Taxon Data Sheets and make corrections and supplymissing information and send it back. It is another long, difficult task to incorporate the information, rectify theTaxon Data Sheets and organize the material for writing the Report. It takes many hours of many days overmany weeks of checking and rechecking data. A.R. Binu Priya and K. Padma Priya probably dream nightlyabout bat taxon data sheets and we thank them as well as the many office staff who assembled the actual book.South Asian Chiroptera C.A.M.P. Report, 2002vii
