[Aliens-L] new global network and listserver for island conservation
Jessica Robbins
Dear all,
At a meeting of the IUCN Species Survival Commission earlier this year, it was discussed how island conservationists might be better connected internationally, one possibility being to establish a network and listserver for the circulation and exchange of information
useful to island conservationists. Island plant conservationists were already connected by the Global Island Plant Conservation Network (GIPCN), and GIPCN was approached to ask their opinion of extending the GIPCN Network and Listserver to all conservationists
on islands, not just botanists. GIPCN agreed, and is effectively now the Global Island Conservation Network (GICN).
This message is therefore going out to various other existing lists, in the hope of reaching all island conservationists, to invite you to subscribe to the Global Island Conservation Network. At present the associated listserver is low-volume (1-2 messages
per week), primarily concerned with circulating news of new publications and other items of interest to island conservationists worldwide. The list is moderated by Dr Christoph Kueffer (Institute of Integrative Biology, Universitätsstrasse 16, ETH Zentrum,
CHN, CH-8092 Zürich, Switzerland; phone +41 (0)44 632 43 08; email kue...@env.ethz.ch).
There are two ways to subscribe to the list:
1. Visit http://listserv.bgci.org/scripts/wa.exe, click on 'ISLANDS-L', then 'Subscribe or Unsubscribe' and enter your contact details
2. Send an email to list...@listserv.bgci.org containing the command: SUBSCRIBE ISLANDS-L Firstname Lastname
In case you encounter a technical problem, please contact Meirion Jones <meirio...@bgci.org>.
Best regards
