NCEP's E-Publication: Lessons in Conservation


In 2007, NCEP began publishing the freely available online journal: Lessons in Conservation (LinC; http://ncep.amnh.org/linc). The journal is published electronically (downloaded as a PDF) and is released periodically; it features selected NCEP educational materials. Currently, only one issue has been released with materials from the NCEP modules: Introduction to Marine Conservation BiologyAssessing Threats to Conservation Planning and ManagementEcosystem Loss and Fragmentation, and Biodiversity Conservation and Integrated Conservation and Development Projects (ICDPs). The journal is co-edited by Eleanor Sterling and Nora Bynum.
