The 10th Northern Furbearer Conference
"Furbearers and Biodiversity"
April 20th- April 21th, 2000 Fairbanks, Alaska, USA
The organizers of the 10th Northern Furbearer Conference
announce the first call for papers to be presented at the
meeting scheduled for the 20-21 of April 2000 in Fairbanks,
Alaska, USA. The meeting theme "Furbearers and
Biodiversity" is highly appropriate as our society
struggles with new concepts on the use or value of wildlife. We
believe that highlighting the significance of furbearers to
biodiversity and environmental health is more important now than
ever because of declining interest in this group worldwide. This
conference brings together researchers, managers, and trappers
from northwestern North America and provides a unique
opportunity to exchange information between different interest
groups.
Abstracts are due by 15 February 2000. Abstracts should be
submitted electronically as Word documents or text files
(preferably via e-mail as an attached file) to:
Abstracts should include a statement of objectives, brief
description of methods, concise presentation of results, and a
summary of conclusions. Format should follow guidelines of the
Journal of Wildlife Management. Please include title, names and
addresses of authors and the main body of the text (which should
not exceed 200 words).
