Provide practical field skills to 10-15 young biologists and conservationists through tortoise and freshwater turtle (TFT) research and conservation in Laos through a training course with supervised practical activities. IMC/ATO and the National University of Laos will partner with participants to design and implement one or two field surveys, prioritizing projects to fill data gaps for the most threatened TFT species. Identify an individual to coordinate TFT conservation activities in Lao PDR.

Strategic Direction: 8 Strengthen the capacity of civil society to work on biodiversity, communities and livelihoods at regional, national, local and grassroots levels
