0080251RuthThis is a planning visit proposal for Professor Matthias Ruth, of the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies at Boston University, to meet with his Mauritian counterparts for the purpose of finalizing plans for a collaborative, multidisciplinary workshop on integrated analysis and management of natural resources in Mauritius. Professor Ruth will meet with Dr. Arjoon Suddhoo, Executive Director of the Mauritius Research Council, and Professor Indur Fagoonee, Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Mauritius.Mauritius, which is located in the southwestern part of the Indian Ocean, has a stable government and a growing economy, brought about in part by the expansion of tourism. As tourism has expanded, the demand for new facilities has increased, causing many Mauritian natural resources to be overburdened and its environment to become degraded. But Mauritius is still home to several rare animal species, such as the echo parakeet, and the last remnants of its original coastal forest are in a small nature reserve. In the past, Mauritian investigators interacted with the European and Indian scientific communities, and very few American researchers had an opportunity to become familiar with Mauritius or its resources. The proposed workshop can provide an opportunity for the participants to exchange information about their current projects, identify areas of mutual interest, and stimulate the development of collaborative activities. This planning visit will enable the co-organizers to finalize the workshop agenda to maximize these interactions.

0080251 Ruththis是波士顿大学能源与环境研究中心的Matthias Ruth教授的计划访问建议，与他的毛里求斯对手会面，目的是完成计划，以计划进行合作，多学科讲习班，以涉及莫里托群岛自然资源的综合分析和管理。 露丝教授将与毛里求斯研究委员会执行董事Arjoon Suddhoo博士和毛里求斯大学亲副总理Indur Fagoonee教授会面。 随着旅游业的不断增长，对新设施的需求不断增加，导致许多毛里求斯自然资源负担重大，环境变得降低。 但是毛里求斯仍然是几种罕见的动物物种的家园，例如回声鹦鹉，其原始沿海森林的最后残留物是在小型自然保护区中。 过去，毛里求斯的调查人员与欧洲和印度科学社区进行了互动，很少有美国研究人员有机会熟悉毛里求斯或其资源。 拟议的研讨会可以为参与者提供机会交换有关其当前项目的信息，确定共同感兴趣的领域并刺激协作活动的发展。 这次计划访问将使共同组织者能够最终确定研讨会议程，以最大程度地提高这些互动。
