Decade-old dream comes true for Lake Chad. "World Wetlands Day is being celebrated with the full recognition of Africa's Lake Chad as a wetland of international significance, fulfilling an agreement made a decade ago by the four nations that share it. The declaration by the Cameroon Republic that its portion of Africa's fourth largest lake is being declared a wetland of international importance under the 1971 Ramsar Convention on Wetlands follows similar declarations by Niger and Chad (both in 2001) and Nigeria (2008). Cameroon's announcement will also clear the way for Lake Chad to become the largest of the world's few recognised trans-boundary international wetlands, where countries make a formal agreement for joint protection and management of shared aquatic ecosystems and their resources." Read WWF International's press release on Cameroon's newest Ramsar site. [05/02/10]

Article 3.2 guidance from Australia. Article 3.2 of the Convention on Wetlands commits Contracting Parties to monitor their Ramsar sites and inform the Secretariat whenever the ecological character of a site has changed, is changing, or is likely to change as a result of human interference. To help interpreting that obligation, Australia's Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has published "National Guidance on Notifying Change in Ecological Character of Australian Ramsar Wetlands (Article 3.2)", as module 3 in its National Guidelines for Ramsar Wetlands series. This very helpful document is available here in PDF and from the Australian authorities' Web site. [11/01/10]

Nature's Inspiring Stories
Nature springs to life in Nature Conservancy magazine. Read
Bee Hall, Associate Director of The Nature Conservancy in Montana has been recognized as the 2012 Conservation Partner by the Intermountain West Joint Venture Management Board Awards Committee.
This award is presented to an individual or organization that has played an instrumental role in advancing strategic, landscape-scale habitat conservation, as well as exemplary achievements in building and strengthening conservation partnerships.
Hall was recognized for leading the Conservancy from a focus on small-scale conservation projects, targeting a single species, to broad-based strategies aimed at conserving whole natural systems. He was also hailed for involving local communities deeply in the process of conservation.
In his nomination, Hall was praised as "unmatched in your pragmatic approach to conservation and your uncanny ability to quietly and unobtrusively complete projects."
"Bee is the perfect person to achieve really effective, on the ground conservation. You would have a hard time finding anyone to match his knowledge of conservation and his skills with people," according to Kat Imhoff, State Director of The Nature Conservancy in Montana.
This year Hall marked his 25th anniversary with The Nature Conservancy in Montana.
With this award, the IWJV recognized Hall's remarkable conservation legacy throughout the state of Montana, including his work in the Blackfoot River Valley, the Yellowstone River, the Rocky Mountain Front, the Centennial and Big Hole Valleys, and the Glaciated Plains.
In committee's words, "You are a true champion for protecting Montana's remarkable wildlife habitats and landscapes."
The award was presented at the 2012 Fall Management Board Dinner at the Double Arrow Resort in Seeley Lake, Montana, on Wednesday, August 29th.
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. The Conservancy and its more than 1 million members have protected nearly 120 million acres worldwide. Visit The Nature Conservancy on the Web at www.nature.org
The Nature Conservancy makes careful use of your support.

Eagle Creek Adventure 28" 2-Wheel Upright 2 2
Good-not great I have several Eagle Creek suitcases and I travel a lot. The zippers have not held up and I have had them repaired. This is the one case that I consider putting the effort into repairing. The inside works very well- I like the straps inside- they hold the clothing in without wrinkles, and the balance is very good. The wheels roll well. Perhaps I have overpacked them but they have held up well barring the zippers.I have Tumi, Lipault and Travelpro - these are the best. February 13, 2013
Great if you like it dirty This bag is exactly as described, holds everything I could possibly need for my travels and then some. I have used it on numerous trips, including one to Australia. My only complaint is that it gets dirty right away, and it stays dirty. It's a soft bag with a fabric exterior, and there is no way to keep it clean. It only gets worse. January 21, 2013
