EURING Newsletter - Volume 1, November 1996

EUROPEAN RINGING SCHEMES: WHO'S WHO

We thought it would have been useful to introduce the first issue of this newsletter by offering an overview of the active schemes within EURING. A brief presentation of the staff, organisation and activities of the different centres would have offered a better idea of the potential as well as of the problems which characterise scientific bird ringing in Europe after just nearly one century of its existence. A questionnaire has therefore been distributed to all centres, a copy of which is enclosed here.

Getting replies was not that easy, nor fast, but yet we're very happy we were eventually able to collect replies from ALL schemes! This means that we're now presenting a really exhaustive and updated list of addresses, names, activities, etc.

We ask all of you to go through this list, check again for any further information to be added (e.g. changes in personnel, newly activated e-mail addresses, etc.), and send us comments and suggestions.
