Announcements from Publications – IUCN Newsletters and Journals

摘要

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC) Primate Specialist Group (PSG) publishes four regional news-letters, listed below, some of which have developed into small journals in their own right. Representing Africa, Asia, Madagascar, and the Americas, the four regional newsletter/journals are intended to share information among field researchers, conservationists and captive-care professionals. In addition, the original newsletter of the PSG has itself evolved into a unique, overarching journal with a worldwide perspective. This journal, Primate Conservation , is published by Conservation International and the Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation, and provides an opportunity for researchers to publish longer, in-depth articles of interest to the global community of primate conservationists. All of these publications are produced and distributed free of charge to authors and subscribers, on the premise that the free exchange of information is vital to effective conservation. This allows many researchers from habitat countries to continue receiving these publications – and contributing to them – without financial concern. Just as importantly, these publications are also available to students and young professionals in these countries, providing an important source of information and encouragement as they begin their conservation careers.
