Hello CEPA list members:

Here's an important message about an up-coming CEPA workshop that promises useful output for all CEPA work for the environment - and could prove very useful for the implementation of Ramsar's CEPA programme. I encourage everyone to read the attached Word document which gives a more detailed outline of the case studies required and the intended workshop programme. Let's hope a few wetland case studies make it in the final selection!

Best wishes, Sandra Hails, Ramsar Secretariat
