GALBRAID@QUCDN.QUEENSU.CA (11/01/90)
I am putting together a list of individuals and/or institutions with active research programs and/or academic programs in conservation biology, and would be very thankful to anyone who would care to drop me a note (GALBRAID@QUCDN.QueensU.CA on BITNET) or post a paragraph on the network as to who should (i.e., would not mind) be contacted for further details of their specific programs. All aspects of conservation biology in its broadest sense are of interest: Restoration Ecology, Conservation Genetics, Economics & Environmental Law, Reintroduction Programs, Captive Breeding, etc. In addition, anyone who would like a copy of this list when it has grown a bit need only send me a note. Thanks for your attention... David A.
