  <title type="html">GTI calls - AIT BOUGHROUS Ali, Morocco</title>
  <subtitle type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abstract&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Le pr&amp;eacute;sent projet se propose de former un sp&amp;eacute;cialiste &amp;agrave; la taxinomie et la syst&amp;eacute;matique des oligoch&amp;egrave;tes dul&amp;ccedil;aquicoles du Maroc, avec un accent particulier sur les oligoch&amp;egrave;tes des eaux souterraines. Il s&amp;rsquo;int&amp;egrave;gre dans un cadre de recherches plus vaste qui vise, par un inventaire exhaustif de la biodiversit&amp;eacute; des eaux souterraines du Maroc et la caract&amp;eacute;risation des param&amp;egrave;tres physico-chimiques du milieu, &amp;agrave; mettre en &amp;eacute;vidence les relations entre la richesse sp&amp;eacute;cifique des eaux souterraines et la qualit&amp;eacute; de celles-ci.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La formation de ce sp&amp;eacute;cialiste permettra &amp;agrave; l&amp;rsquo;&amp;eacute;quipe marocaine d&amp;rsquo;int&amp;eacute;grer les oligoch&amp;egrave;tes dans leurs projets de recherche, groupe traditionnellement n&amp;eacute;glig&amp;eacute; jusqu&amp;rsquo;&amp;agrave; pr&amp;eacute;sent, par manque de connaissances.Plac&amp;eacute; dans le contexte du d&amp;eacute;veloppement durable et de la conservation de la biodiversit&amp;eacute;, ce projet permettra, &amp;agrave; moyen terme:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt; de fournir une liste exhaustive des esp&amp;egrave;ces des oligoch&amp;egrave;tes du Maroc ;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;d&amp;rsquo;identifier les constituants importants de cette faune, en terme de conservation (esp&amp;egrave;ces reliques, end&amp;eacute;miques et/ou stygobies) ; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;d&amp;rsquo;identifier les sites souterrains prioritaires en terme de protection de la biodiversit&amp;eacute; existante et de surveillance;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;de former du personnel technique local aux techniques de pr&amp;eacute;paration et d&amp;rsquo;identification de routine des oligoch&amp;egrave;tes dans le cadre de projets de surveillance de sites prioritaires.	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Training location:&lt;/strong&gt; Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="http://www.biodiv.be/gti/gti_calls/gti/gti_calls/PhotoArchive/IMG_6468.jpg/view?display=Medium" alt="taxonomic training in the RBINS" width="240" height="240" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;M. A. BOUGHROUS receives taxonomic training from RBINS taxonomist Dr P. MARTIN. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gained personal capacity:&lt;/strong&gt; Thanks to the taxonomic training received in Brussels, M. BOUGHROUS is now able to identify freshwater oligochaete. He used this gained knowledge to draw up a checklist of the groundwater oligochaetes of Morocco. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2007, he obtained his PhD entitled 'Biodiversit&amp;eacute;, &amp;eacute;cologie et qualit&amp;eacute; des eaux souterraines dans deux r&amp;eacute;gions arides du Maroc : le Tafilalet et la r&amp;eacute;gion de Marrakech'. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2011, his built up capacity allowed him to get a position at the 'Ecole nationale des sciences appliqu&amp;eacute;es of Al Hoceima where he has the responsibility over a module on hydrobiology thaught to ir-students, specialized in environmental ingeneering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gained institutional capacity:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;Normal00152302Belgian National Focal Point to the GTI2137010.260&lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;000&lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&amp;nbsp;The university Cadi Ayyad in Marrakech has been equiped with a high quality optical microscope (with drawing tube) and has alsor received small equipment for sampling and collection management.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.biodiv.be/gti/gti_calls/gti/gti_calls/PhotoArchive/DSCN3084.JPG/view?display=Medium" alt="sampling groundwater oligochaetes" width="240" height="180" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.biodiv.be/gti/gti_calls/gti/gti_calls/PhotoArchive/DSCN0838.JPG/view?display=Medium" alt="sampling groundwater oligochaetes" width="240" height="180" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Groundwater oligchaetes were inventoried during several field trips. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Selected output:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
