Dear all,

As SEH-conservation committee we are pleased to announce a two-days course (September 24-25) on herpetofauna monitoring.The course will be held at the National Museum of Natural History Luxembourg prior the 16th European Congress of Herpetology.

The course is aimed at European herpetologists, conservation professionals, and people working in environmental policy who design and run monitoring programs. The aim of the course is to highlight key issues when designing and running monitoring programs. This includes the conceptual and political background for monitoring programs, an overview of field methods and an introduction to methods for data analysis. Additionally, on-going projects will be presented.
