Thank you for making the human-wildlife abstracts from the felid
conference available. They will be a great help to those of us who
couldn't assist.
I would like to know if the rest of the abstract are also available
somewhere, as I am looking for some of those studies that didn´t deal
with human-wildlife conflicts.
Thanks in advance for any response.
Best regards,
Alfredo

I am pleased to launch the new Europan Large Carnivore Information
System that the Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe has developed with
the contribution of the European Commission under the contract nr.
070501/2005/424162/MAR/B2 for producing the Guidelines for Population
level management plans for Large Carnivores.
I would be greateful if you could announce it through your very
informative web sites.
www.kora.ch/sp-ois
The species information system developed following the standards and
format set by KORA for the European Lynx Online Information System.

More information about the EU contract and the documents produced,
including the guidelines for popualtion level management plans.
thank you very much
