The First Wetland Link International Asia Symposium 24-26 January 2007 (11/10/06)

Good afternoon everyone:

The Hong Kong Wetland Park and WWF are jointly organising the First Wetland Link International-Asia Symposium to be held at the Hong Kong Wetland Park from 24 – 26 January 2007. The 3-day symposium aims to promote communications among wetland centres in Asia and share experience on wetland park management and CEPA programmes. Brief details are provided below by Sunny Chow from the Park, and the attachment includes more information and a form to return to express your interest in attending.

You may remember in May of this year that I sent out a message to the list on the opening of the Hong Kong Wetland Park - you can read the message here http://www.ramsar.org/outreach_news.htm (19 May, 2006). And to further jog your memories, this symposium is a follow up to a meeting in July 2005 that launched the WLI-Asia regional network. Read more about it here http://www.ramsar.org/cepa/caxref:847.

Best wishes, Sandra Hails, Ramsar Secretariat
