Dear All
I have been reading the debates about the possible new direction for the
CPN and I am very interested in forging links between the scientific and
amateur elements of the cp world. Both have indepth knowledge of cps
and I believe that CPN should push its image forward as a leader in
relaying this info to the world at large. Many policy makers and
conservationists find it difficult to access this sort of info and CPN
could bridge that gap. For example, articles on trade, conservation and
habitat status are missing from most cp newsletters.
