Mailing lists

Africadiv mailing list
A new mailing list called ‘Africadiv’ has just been launched. It was initiated by the Indigenous Knowledge and Biodiversity Working Group of the Environment Liaison Centre International (ELCI) in Nairobi, Kenya, and will be maintained in collaboration with Nuffic-CIRAN.

‘Africadiv’ is short for ‘Africa Diversity’. The mailing list will foster discussion and help to generate knowledge regarding the sustainable use of biological diversity and indigenous knowledge in Africa. Anyone with an interest in the subject is invited to take part: natural and social scientists, representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations, and practitioners in the field. The list will make it possible to share research materials, announce events, solicit funding, advertise job and training opportunities and relevant newsletters, and publish news related to the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge in Africa.

Within two weeks of the official launch, 130 people from all parts of the world had subscribed. Subscribing to the mailing list is easy, and free. Just send an e-mail message to lyris@lyris.nuffic.nl. Leave the subject blank, but write in the body of the message ‘subscribe africadiv’, and give your name.

If you have any questions, please contact: Ingeborg Krukkert (list manager) at krukkert@nuffic.nl.

or: Ernest Rukangira (content manager) at erukangira@iconnect.co.ke.
