Dear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!
I am just back from the well-organised 16th International Otter Conference in Lima, Peru and still full of all the impressions. There was a lot of science and conservation but also laughter and (re)-connecting. It was very well organized, and all went smoothly from transport to and from the venue to the catering with the explanations on local food and fruits. I think this impression is true for all of us that were there. May I say once again thank you to everybody involved in organizing this event.
Some of us saw the marine otter on Friday afternoon during the boat trip, and I heard that those that went to Tampobata all saw giant otters.
There will be Proceedings published as a special issue of the IUCN OSG Bulletin, and the participants will soon receive information on how to submit their manuscripts. Accepted submissions will go online as they come in and proofprints have been accepted.
We have already closed issue 42/1 and are opening issue 42/2. The good news is that we are almost at the end of our backlog which means future submissions will go online with only short delays.
All this is only possible by having Lesley working every week on the Bulletin. My sincere thank you Lesley for all your devotion to otters!
