BCN Shares Collective Experience From The Subcontinent 22-23 December 1998


Dear BCNet Visitors,

As the BCN-funded projects in South Asia come to a close at the end of the year, it will be useful for the project and programme staff to share their collective experience with the larger conservation community. In this context, BCN is organizing a two day meeting in New Delhi on December 22-23, 1998 (Tuesday and Wednesday) at the WWF-India Auditorium (172-B, Lodhi Estate, New Delhi-110003). Day I is open to the larger conservation community where representatives from all the South Asian ( Implementation Grant ) projects will make their presentations. Day II will be devoted to an 'Internal workshop' for project partners. We hope to have informal, but more in-depth discussions on the second day and your feedback on issues to be discussed will be appreciated. Tentative schedules for both days are below!
