Subject: Conservation Ecology - New Issue Announcement

Dear Conservation Ecology subscribers,

We are pleased to announce the publication of Volume 6, Issue 1 of
Conservation Ecology:

http://www.consecol.org/Journal/vol6/iss1/index.html

This issue of Conservation Ecology presents a number of truly
interdisciplinary papers that tackle a wide variety of issues ranging
from habitat modeling and conservation to sustainable tourism.  Also
featured are a series of articles that make imaginative use of the web
to convey scientific information (Ralf Yorque Memorial Competition -
"Making the Complex Simple on the Web").  Finally, we present 15 short
discussion pieces that offer feedback on articles published in the
current issue as well as previous issues.

We encourage thoughtful feedback on current and past articles. Please
use the "Respond to this article" feature at the bottom of each
article to make a comment or initiate a discussion.
