We are glad to inform about the publication of our new E-bulletin, "Saiga News",
which is now available for downloading from the websites www.iccs.org.uk/saiganews.htm
and http://saigak.biodiversity.ru/publications.html.
The first issue includes articles about the status of saigas in Turkmenistan,
the role of saiga horn in traditional Chinese medicine, and genetic differentiation
between saiga populations, as well as updates on regional and international
saiga conservation activities in the last 6 months, and highlights of press
coverage of saigas in the range states and elsewhere. We will be publishing
Saiga News twice a year, and hope that it will be used as a forum for the dissemination
of saiga information to all interested parties. It is currently available as
a pdf and in hard copy on request, in English and Russian. Chinese and Mongolian
versions will be available in the near future. If you have information which
you would like to contribute to the next issue please let us know. Please also
contact us if you know of other people who would like to receive the bulletin.
If you do not wish to receive notifications of the publication of future editions,
please also let us know. Thank you very much for your support. Best wishes,
Elena Bykova (Editorial Manager)
