Abstract

The Hokkaido University Museum has promoted general education for taxonomy, that is, training courses for parataxonomists in Japan and Indonesia. During last six years, we conducted a total of 99 courses and the total number of participants has reached 1,271. In this paper I show (1) a chronological history of parataxonomists courses in Japan and Asia, and (2) the present situation of the courses, and also consider (3) a functional aspect of the parataxonomists courses for educating undergraduate and graduate students and citizens as candidate researchers in taxonomy, (4) effects of the courses on the public recognition of the taxonomy and biodiversity in Japan, and (5) promise of the courses.
