Dear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!
We have reached summer in Europe and issue 39/1 has been closed and we are opening issue 39/2. We are now in a changed world and after 2 years of a pandemic situation we experience a war in Europe. Something that has changed the life for many. I do hope that we come out of this situation in a good way.
This current issue is in fact already complete, and manuscripts will go online over the coming weeks. We have received interesting manuscripts so keep coming back every now and then.
I also want to urge all potential authors to carefully study the guidelines for authors before submitting manuscripts. Especially I want to stress that it is the responsibility of the authors to ensure completeness of the list of references used in the text and in the reference list. It is not the task on our side to try to identify missing references and we have now started to move papers down the pipeline of going online until the list is completed by the authors.
If you have not already made plans for September, you may consider now to attend the 15th IUCN/SSC OSG International Otter Congress
(https://www.otterspecialistgroup.org/osg-newsite/15th-ioc/).
While it was really very exciting to see so many manuscripts arriving last year this also seriously increased the workload for Lesley. Without the efforts of Lesley, the IUCN OSG Bulletin would not be what it is today. Therefore I want to thank you Lesley for all your efforts on behalf of all of us!
