The 10th Northern Furbearer Conference
"Furbearers and Biodiversity"
April 20th- April 21th, 2000 Fairbanks, Alaska, USA

The organizers of the 10th Northern Furbearer Conference announce the first call for papers to be presented at the meeting scheduled for the 20-21 of April 2000 in Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. The meeting theme "Furbearers and Biodiversity" is highly appropriate as our society struggles with new concepts on the use or value of wildlife. We believe that highlighting the significance of furbearers to biodiversity and environmental health is more important now than ever because of declining interest in this group worldwide. This conference brings together researchers, managers, and trappers from northwestern North America and provides a unique opportunity to exchange information between different interest groups.

Abstracts are due by 15 February 2000. Abstracts should be submitted electronically as Word documents or text files (preferably via e-mail as an attached file) to:
Abstracts should include a statement of objectives, brief description of methods, concise presentation of results, and a summary of conclusions. Format should follow guidelines of the Journal of Wildlife Management. Please include title, names and addresses of authors and the main body of the text (which should not exceed 200 words).
