Quotes from Books for Conservation Recipients

"Thank you so much for the excellent selection of books. They will be extremely useful for survey work and environmental management and went down very well with the volunteers running our agricultural project with local communities."

Alice Courage
Manda Wilderness Project, Mozambique
"I am writing to thank you for all the books which have arrived safely in our institution in Papua."

Agustina Arobaya
PPKH Biodiversity Research Centre, West Papua, Indonesia
"The Uganda Society thanks you for your generous donation of books to our library. We are a volunteer organisation and do not have funds for buying books. These books are a significant addition to our collection. We lost 4000 volumes during the period of civil unrest."

Ann Apio, Librarian
The Uganda Society, Uganda
"Thank you so much for the books, they are an incredible addition to our library. Your very generous donation will give us a huge boost. The universities have very few texts themselves and all are very out of date. We rely almost entirely on donations to increase our collection so you may imagine how delighted we are with your contribution."

Dr. Karen Freeman
Research Director of the Madagascar Fauna Group
"One of the bird field guides is now being used by the driver who is becoming very adept at identifying the birds as well as the field researchers."

Nick Lindsay
Zoological Society of London
Referring to books donated to the Vulture Care Centre in Pinjore, India
"Finding foreign scientific literature is really a problem in the countries of the former USSR, therefore the books we got from you are indeed of large importance for rising level of knowledge as well as for running several current projects."

Dr. Pavel Tomkovich
Working Group on Waders, Moscow
"These books will be extremely useful to our local staff as well as the students from the local university who regularly consult our library."

Rob Wallace, Director
Northwestern Bolivian Andes Landscape Conservation Programme, Bolivia
