Hello to Everyone, I am developing a "business plan" for the World Wildlife Fund. Similar to a corporate business plan this will direct the WWF on how they may most efficiently and effectively carry out their mission statement in the Great Lakes region of North America while addressing issues not currently in the mandate of other conservation organizations.
To accomplish this we need the assistance of experts from the Scientific Forum on Fish and Fisheries. We hope to hear from individuals from around the globe. Any input based on past experiences with conservation issues in freshwater systems, especially systems that cross international borders, will be appreciated.
We would be very grateful if you could provide input on this topic by answering the question,
"Where do you feel the WWF could be best involved in the Great Lakes?"
To help you with your answer the Fund's mission statement is included at the bottom of this message. As we hope to contact a large number of experts like yourself could you also suggest two other individuals, not on this forum, who may provide valuable input to this question? To save bandwidth, could you please send responses to my personal e-mail address and not the entire list. I will then summarize and compile everyone's comments and post these to the forum. Thank you very much for your assistance in advance. Best Regards, Greg LeBreton, Ph.D.
