Dear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!
Shortly after we entered 2023, we also open the first issue 40/1 of this year. As earlier mentioned in fact this issue is already completed and the articles will go online in the weeks to come. Even better, we have at least half of issue 40/2 finished and I can promise we do have interesting manuscripts in the pipeline.
Looking back on a successful year with 4 issues I take the opportunity to thank last year’s reviewers that did an excellent job with so many submitted manuscripts. My sincere thanks to Aadrean, Katrina Fernandez, Atul Borker, Murthy Kantimahanti, Nicole Duplaix, Syed Ainul Hussain, Miriam Marmontel, Melissa Savage, Mohan Shrestha, Anna Loy, Romina Fusillo, Aarati Basnet, Caroline Leuchtenberger, Will Duckworth, Hannah Krupa, Fernando Marques Quintela, Sunita Khatiwara, Anna Roos, Katarina Loso and Carin Wittnich for their careful and thoughtful reviews that were always encouraging and improving the manuscripts.
So many manuscripts also mean an extra burden and a lot of work for my two dear friends Gerard Schmidt and Claudio Chehebar. Thank you so much for all the abstract translations including observations of last inconsistencies in abstracts and text.
The large number of manuscripts with more pictures, embedded videos and very large literature lists ask a lot from Lesley who does not only serve as the webmaster for the IUCN OSG Bulletin but also has the final task to check completeness of references, typos, language issues etc. I am well aware about the workload for Lesley. Lesley, thank you so much you do to make this journal an increasing success.
